some guy in india has a web site and says you have to have 10 hatching pairs to have a proper emu business. Then they will produce enough eggs to make you 30000 rupees a year. What the heck is a rupee and why would I want 30,000 of them?
Well, I know rupees don't grow on trees....
Do you WANT an emu business? I know it would be cheaper than horses, as long as you already have good fences.
But do you want a livestock guard pair, or a lay-lots-of-pretty-eggs-to-sell-and-then-eat-emu dozen pairs?
again, I'm going hmmmmmmmm. I doubt there is any place around here to "process" emus. I'm wondering though if having a pair to sell the pretty eggs wouldn't be kind of fun. Too many decisions.
I am not competent enough to make these executive type decisions. I waffle too much. I guess I didn't realize people had them as a business like cattle or sheep. There was a place near where we lived in NC that had Emus in a pen behind their house. They sold tickets and you could "pet" them. I know it wasn't a very big are they were housed in. But the fencing was pretty tall.
I must contemplate. How much time do we have until emu hatching?
And is the person in AK, wrong, AR asking 35 a bird? Is that the going rate?
