I was thinking about hatching an emu egg but then I am worried about my little ones...what if this emu pecks at my kids?

So its still up in the air.

it is a possibility but if u put ur hands up higher then their head..like its a beak, ur arm being the neck, they should leave off cuz they think ur bigger...however they can get aggressive...how old are ur kids? if theyre old enough it shouldnt be a problem...i guess an emu is as unpredictable as a rooster...maybe a teen rooster...u dont know if theyll be good or not! but they arent as bad as say the cassowary...and if they are not being protective of something or have no partners to try to impress, u prolly wont have a problem! might as well go for it if u want! u'll be able to tell if its going to be aggressive or not...just suss out a place it can go if things dont work out before u do though!

Mine use to play with my 3 & 4 year old nephews...supervised. My nephews would chase them, then they would chase my nephews and when they looked really close they would fall down on the ground and roll. It was hilarious! Emus are attracted to anything shiny, jewelry, buttons, eyeballs. You have to be careful about allowing them to close to your face, they like ears too, he he. Mine know not to mess with mine, but new people are fair game. Jazzy my female will lay down and let kids pet/sit on her and she behaves very well...just have to keep her away from the eyes. Mine were hand raised and I would not attempt it with a wild/semi wild raised emu.
It is so cute to look out in the yard and see an Emu and a little serama searching the ground for goodies, side by side. They can be so cool, but are not for everyone.
