Oh, that is good to know. I am guessing the thicker legged ones will be the hefty gals, then.

Speaking of sexing, I got the results back yesterday from the DNA gender testing on my emus. Mary Catherine is now Louie and Stuart is still Stuie. Both boys!

But I love 'em just the same!

Are those your NHR or NHR Dellie crosses? They're still a tad young yet.

Pure New Hampshires. I thought sure YOU could sex them this early. Guess I will just have to wait and see.

I have a couple suspects. 2nd picture far left on the cinder block I'm betting is a male. And the one laying down next to it.

I am trying! I think I am going to have to wait for next year's breeding season. Locating girls that find this attractive won't be easy!

Other than the fact you want eggs, is there a particular reason you desire females?

She wants babies. Males don't go broody without the female.


Awwww, love that picture Mary!

They look like typical males (of any species) to me.

Nope, that's it. I just love that the males are broody and hatch and raise the babies. Just want the experience.

Gotcha. It seemed like the most obvious answer would be the correct one.

Gotta go--time to take the kids to swim lessons.
