Placing Emu Chicks on Auction Board

I have Emu hatching next week (My First Emu) and I read that Boys have a Bull's eye on the top of the head, and girls have stripes on the top of the heads.

So if a variety of head patterns were picked, then that increases the odds that both sexes are present?


Batty, how many can you fence and feed?

Well, I have 22 acres of horse field. I also have access to 1 full fenced acre across the street. It's probably in need of fence repair. but AI'd have time to fix. How big of a mob can you house on an acre?

And how much would it cost to feed them? ANd what is 30,000 rupees?

Emus make me go hmmmmmmmm?

The Link above has lots of Info on Emu Raising, also there is a book I hear is spectacular, called "Emu Farmer's Handbook".

The Website I Posted says most Emu farms are 5-10 acres.

That's a VERY informative website!


I've read that emu meat does NOT taste like chicken, BTW....

Currently you don't. The web site said farm to finish...

After looking at the redoak site, I would guess all my were female. I don't have one with that complete round right on its head. But then you also can't make me believe that I have ten females. What are the odds of that?
