I'M HERE!! Meet loudmouth ( you could hear him/her right across the house).
I haven't sexed loudmouth yet and will let you know what they all are as I do.

Everyone is hatched, I'm so glad they all made it. Purple band had some trouble and I almost lost him But he is doing great now.
I have a thread in the emu forum (don't know how too post a link, sorry) that I will update if you want hear about it. They are all growing like weeds eating and drinking good, also learning to run. They go home late this week or early next

Out of six eggs set four hatched and two infertile. So 100% hatch

Pictures were taken on the greenhouse floor, it's a little messy.

Without more delay,


first chick hatched (blue band):male


Second chick hatched (green band):female


Third chick hatched (yellow band):male


Fourth chick hatched (purple band):male


Everyone together.


Eating collards


And because we're soo CUTE!

How do you determine gender on them?
