Awwwww! How long do ostrich eggs incubate?

He is a cutie!! I want one!

38 days, then off to hatcher for another 4 ..Lot harder than chickens to keep going once they're out though. Cab due if you don't feed them until they start eating on there own

Well, that is just darling! What do you call a baby ostrich? I know turkeys are poults, ducks are ducklings.....

 

[bensteph821]

Just chicks or a whelp
