How many emu owners are on BYC?

[Tame Emu Guy]

Yes, Apronstrings, good luck. Keep us posted on the process.

I'm lucky. I have the self-breeding species of emu.

My two females are nearing two years and my mature male is approximately three years (I did not hatch him). Only one of my mature females seems truly mature. I expect her to be my only breeding female this season. Fine with me as she is drop dead gorgeous!

Hi ApronStrings,


1 female not truly mature ? My 1st pair, Rosie was barely 17 months old when she started laying, her boy Zeppi same age and this will be the 3rd time, 25 and ......35 last season.

Tell me, is your male interested in both girls ? I had 2 girls same age and they were with another male all summer, but he never showed any interest in Dusty, only Jasmine , like glued together all day lol now for last 2 months they are are together and the girl joined this years little girl Cindy in another house and paddock. Even if the older girl Dusty should lay, I will blow and decorate them lol or my friends will want some.

Good luck with your Eggs , you should have some soon.

Thank you, I had Susan and Mike Delfino....in honor of Desperate Housewives.

And they were my Mother's day present, and about 3 weeks ago some idiot killed my Susan and took her breast meat.

I was so upset I cant begin to tell you.

So my DH found me 2 more and they are older, we have managed to get them pretty tame already, food is a big motivator. Marty loves berries, and Sprint finally decided he wanted snacks too.

Sorry to hear about Susan, hope the idiot that did that doesn't develop a taste for emu meat and comes back...

I was so shocked I wasn’t sure if it was even appropriate to post. Killed your pet for meat? Please accept my condolences.
