Emu eggs are in high demand right now. You can raise them for their meat, which is said to be the leanest. Emu oil is also in demand. Not to mention how friendly emus are. They are like giant dogs and can even be leash trained.

Haven't seen how much the past 2 years but Emu meat used to go for $29 a pound.

It would be kinda hard for me to butcher an Emu that I had leash trained, I think..... even for $29. a pound.

Yes please...What do you do with an emu? There was one lost out here in the desert last spring.

HMMMMMMM.... wonder if I can use that as a reason to get one.... I wanted an emu a few years ago ......was told NO then too.
Took me 3 years to get my pit bull, so figure it will take a few more to get an emu!

I've gotta go. I'm sure to be lost in the morning when I come back on.

Wikipedia says an Emu is 40-106 lbs. I don't know....that's a lot of $ for 1 bird!
