I was offered Emu Eggs for hatching....

[kelseygirl707]

Ok, so a local Emu farmer offered me hatching eggs for $25 each, I thought NO WAY! I'm not paying $25 per egg for something that may not hatch! But my Husband really wants me to try it

, So I MAY purchase 1 or 2. But I have No Idea how to hatch Emu eggs, anybody have any insight? Also I can't keep an Emu (Although DH and I were joking that it would be awesome security for the storage company we manage

). So what's the story with hatching EMU's? Also, I know they tend to be mean adults, but are the chicks mean, or just like Giant chicken chicks?

Thanks
