Oh, if only I lived in Texas! LOL, I'm thinking Ohio weather wouldn't be a good thing for a Rhea........I looked at your website and it was very nice!

Wow, I'll bet you'd have breakfast for four in just one of those Rhea eggs........

Thanks... Im kinda wondering, with 4 hens.... how many eggs will I get this year... and will "Thor", my 1st male Rhea, be able to cover them all? If not, will "Bruno", my second Male Rhea make a 2nd nest?

Ive seen all the rheas working the nest and cleaning it, but only Thor and Bruno will sit on the eggs. Both males get along great and it looks like they share the responsiblity.
