My husband just told me I can get an emu.....I don't know if he realizes what he just got himself into lol

Get OUT!

I know where you can get eggs right here in PA!!!


It's driving me crazy not having your turkey eggs here to candle... They should have some pretty good development at this point...

Ordered the gals this morning, and built my peep box. Got 2 Plymouth Rocks, 2 Black Stars, and 2 Rhodebars to pick up in a couple weeks (Lancaster).

Gathering coop materials, and getting anxious!

Very nice choices of breeds. Start building coop ASAP. Chicks grow so fast.

Does anyone know someone or somewhere I can get ducklings other than tractor supply? I'm located in the state college area and not trying to drive too far out of my way.

Thanks a lot!

Myers is the closest hatchery I find. It's still more than 1 hour away from state college though .

I second the vote on Metzer's. Their order minimums are quite low and their birds are beautiful. Great selection of waterfowl, too.

@Auroradream26, I'm jealous! I would love an emu but enough people have complained about behavior that I'm wary. If this works out for you, let me know

congrats....gives a whole new meaning to free ranging....will probably scare off most predators...(might need to get one myself ???)

Ahhh! That is the question of the month! I don't know of any breeders selling ducklings.

But there's always Chippy....I think she's raising call ducks...?

I can get eggs of Blue Breda Fowl. A friend has a small flock. He was talking about hatching a few to get some black pullets (all his birds are blue and splash). I can get eggs for you or hatch some chicks if you prefer. Last time we hatched them they were very fertile and easy to hatch, but that was a different roo. The chicks were small for a LF (eggs are small too).

A few things to beware of with Bredas
1. the extreme feather attracts mud and muck.
2. they are only mediocre layers of off white eggs
3. roos are often people aggressive

Thanks for the offer and tips. Most reports I've read/heard say they are docile and not aggressive towards other chickens or people. Have you raised Breda or seen it first hand? I'm interested because of looks and reported temperament...the eggs are just a bonus for me.

Any idea of price for a dozen eggs and/or price if you hatch some for me?

Thats great!! I went to visit Renningers yesterday afternoon they were having their annual exotic animal sale and I just had to gawk at all the beautiful chickens, ducks and geese they had there!

I found emu eggs for sale about an hour and a half from me I'm thinking that I should get two eggs and if one hatches I'm good. If 2 hatch, I'll have to find a home for the other.

I was curious about the eggs. You'll have to let me know how they're developing if and when you ever get the chance to find out lol. I just had a good hatch (still finishing up) and now have 22 fluffy babies running around

I second the vote on Metzer's. Their order minimums are quite low and their birds are beautiful. Great selection of waterfowl, too.

I'll be keying everyone know! I'm sure it'll be a handful but I'm hoping that hand raising it and Hopfully getting it imprinted on people will make it a big, friendly, happy, and playful thing.

I wonder if free ranging is even possible with an emu. I could see my neighbors coming out of their house and the emu sitting on their porch lol!

I'm just kidding! We wound definitely have to have a nice big fenced area for it. I'm really rather excited!
