Icelandic Chickens

The emus walked alongside me! Yes, the baby girls are growing up fast. They are sweet as sugar and love to lay at our feet and have their backs stroked. The boys would never have allowed that. I just love them all. Even when I was in a full blown emu attack with the big ones in my face and the little ones going after the bottom half I was cracking up. They just make my day!

I WANT ONE (or TWO) ! ! ! !

Newsflash..............

One emu egg is dancing in the bator!.... not sure of the second one, but it is possible.

Saturday, March 10, will be day 50....

PS........
Am I suppose to be in lockdown or something with these eggs? Or do I keep turning them?

I confess, I did not do enough research. I NEVER thought they would make it this far!

According to what Mary told me when she was incubating hers.............you shouldn't be turning anymore, but you need to pull them out every day and tap on the eggs and whistle to them to have the egg rock.

Mary said this encourages them to hatch. She also said that emu's don't pip with an egg tooth like a chicken - they use the back of their neck and push with their feet to bust the shell.
