I have a pair of 5 week old emu chicks that will chase and try to stomp on anything that is near them. Since they were 2 weeks old they were always kept near some turkey poults. They were in separate enclosures but they both still need a heat lamp so they were kept right next to each other. Eventually when the turkeys began jumping out they ended up in the emus pen. The emus left them alone and even slept next to them. It didn’t seem like I would have a problem with the emus attacking birds but once I started letting them roam with a few chicks (they’re about 12 weeks old), the emus constantly chase them and even try stomping on them. I plan to let the emus roam with all of my birds once the emus are older but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to because the emus may try killing them. Any tips?
(It’s only one emu who mostly tries hurting the other birds, but when the other emu sees what he’s doing then she will join in)
