Nice! Bredas are great, where are you getting yours?

Getting some from Dutch Connection and some from @chicken danz. Hopefully both around March time

. Can't wait to get started on 'my project'.

@Chicken girl 15 wonder if Animal Adventure sells emu eggs? We probably don't want to know Lol! Wonder how much it'd cost to raise a few of them.

we could investigate.

never know we might get rich. I'm 5 minutes from them.

20-50 eggs a season and one place sells a 1 week old for $85.00.

Ok who started the emu talk?? This is insane. Now I'm researching birds as big as a horse. @Beer can you!! Had to get me started didn't you.. I think you should have to pay 50% of the startup cost if I end up stuck on these blasted birds!! I don't think farming is a good thing for me.

Their eggs really ain't that huge either about goose egg size. I jokingly told DW I was going to reach in and snag a couple eggs that were near the fence and stash them in my pockets last time we were there Lol! :-D
Scratch that, missremembering...Emu eggs are BIG not sure if they would fit in a Hova-bator. ..
It was the Peafowl pen and eggs I was looking at :-D

Long time to hatch, 53 days I think? They probably sell good for meat. Only reason I'd want a couple would be for processing. Don't think I'd want a emu ranch Lol! Cool birds though. Used to be a ostrich farm over the hill from us yrs ago.
Might have to build a cabinet bator if you can procure hatching eggs from them.

we could build a bator. I think it would be neat for the kids to be able to say "we have an emu at home".

I'm not sure how much hubby would like me though.

Hey everyone, just announcing last call on the Sand Hill order. I'm filling it out today and sending it out tomorrow.

I checked their site, but you're too far and DW is starting Chemo, and I'm working now and I just can't take on more work. Thanks anyhow.

It's my bucket list.. I MUST hatch an EMU!! I'm near Saratoga, willing to drive an hour or so if anyone can find eggs for sale. Would rather hatch after my chickens this year since the emu will take so long..
