Need Help Incubating! EMU EGG!

[Emu Island]

1) Food: Either Ratite starter or a non-medicated starter/grower crumbles. Preferably one of the better brands.
2) Supplement with kale and spinach. Don’t let it become their main meal though.
3) Heat lamp: Keep it to one end so they can move out from underneath if they get to hot
4) Newly hatched emu chicks usually don’t eat for the first couple days until they’ve digested the yolk sac absorbed at hatch. You might have to attract them to the water and food. For water I use a white crock bowl and I float kale on top. This attracts them to peck at it and they learn to eat the kale and drink the water. For the crumbles I use a dark colored crock bowl or a shiny silver bowl- the crumbles stand out against these backgrounds, again attracting them to peck at it. I also sprinkle crumbles on a dark towel placed on the bottom of our Hatcher and/or their pen when they move to that. They are very curious so you can use the curiosity to get them to start eating.

Thank you so much! These is amazing advice! Right when it hatches should i place it in the cage i am making it in my room? It will have food water and a heatlamp that ir can move out of...Just curious is emu poop just like chicken poop like really super messy or kinda like dog poop?
