Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[wolftracks]

I have no idea. You could go over to the emu forum and ask the experts there.

I'll have to do that then. Thanks

Kathy, I am sooooooooooo excited for you!! I can't wait until I can come visit and hug you emus! The lady I know who has them doesn't have emus that want to hug me...

You can come to my house. I have one that will hug you as long as you will let him. He will even nod off for a nap pressing his full weight against you. Come on over!

Such happy news here with all the hatching going on! Awesome pics of the emus!!! And a huggable emu that will nap on you! Too cute!!!

So sorry to hear of a treasured family pet passing. I just went through the loss of a sweet girl (rescue dog) that had been with us for 13 years. She also got to spend her last days with us in the peace of her own home but it was still tough to watch her go. Hugs to you and your family Bucka!

OK, I've got to get some sleep.

Now that the girl emu is out, I'm praying for that boy emu.

Dang, I'm glad those chicks are not in one of my bators, I'd be throwing up from worry.

Sorry for your loss. Your kitty was beautiful. I lost my best friend 17 months ago. She had cancer in her intestines. She had artheritis in her hips and we thought it was just getting worse. She was on pain meds for the artheritis. Then she started having issues with not being able to keep food down and I noticed she wasn't going potty and she was in real pain. I rushed her to the vet and he did all kinds of tests and I spent the weekend crying my eyes out because I knew what was going to have to happen but I didn't want to have to do it. Turned out thats exactly what I had to do. I cry just thinking about it. I'm not a cry baby either. Doc said he is 90% sure it's cancer but she wouldn't make it through surgery just to find out for sure and if it was she would have to be put down anyway. So I said no surgery, she's already suffering and I had to end it. She was the best dog. I could feel how much she loved me and she smiled when she greeted somebody she knew. I still miss her badly. I haven't been able to get attached to another dog since. She is also my walpaper on both computers and she's my avatar. I still have her collar hanging on my desk and her pictures are still up and always will be.
I know your heart is breaking and I truely know how you feel. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Wow the Emu is so cute! I'd love to try incubating one, although I'd have to line up a home for the little one. You incubated in a brinsea? Just a regular brinsea not a cabinet? Mine seems too small to hold an egg that size, so that's awesome!

I AM sick with worry ! ! hahaha, sooooo silly !

#2 has hatched ! A and B are both out now!

Kathyinmo - beautiful emus! I def do NOT have the space to keep any here, although.....! Only joking. I couldn't go through the stress of hatching them. Goose eggs fry my brain enough as it is, I just can't get them to hatch.

Mahonri - the price of gas (petrol here) is about 1.61 euro per litre, which would be the equivalent of 7.98 dollars per gallon (I think, my maths is not so good) - needless to say it's very expensive here. For the price of a tank of petrol for my Mercedes 1.8l car it's around 85 euros to fill it up. And I travel about 120 miles a week without any 'extra' trips. Life here is costly. The views are worth it though.

So - my shipped brahma eggs (darks, lemon pyle and PEARL GREY PATRIDGE) are all paid for and on their way shortly. They are costing me nearly as much as a tank of petrol too!

Bring on next Saturday - 6 days left! Woot!

Oh! What a great photo! You must be so excited.
My 21 year old cat finally passed on this evening. I am very sad, but relieved that she died at home and did not appear to really suffer. She had a good long life, - I knew her longer than I knew my own mother.
I am really enjoying everyone's chick photos. It is nice to see new life springing forth on what is otherwise a sad day for me.
