Pyxis' Emu Chat Thread

[CSAchook]

Ciara is a brat.

Let me go back a little in the story. Last night, as I was laying in bed playing a game and browsing the internet, just settling in for the night, Ciara was pacing in her brooder. And then out of the corner of my eye I saw a shape come flying out of the brooder and land with a thump on the floor.

And it was her. And she has learned she can jump out and now she won't stay in. She insisted on sleeping right beside my bed last night and jumped out every time I put her back.

The only bright side is, for whatever reason, she returns to her brooder or a towel on the floor to poop. So she's potty trained, apparently.

So now I have a free-roaming emu in my bedroom until I get a taller brooder built. Oy.

I know it must have been a huge headache for you, but this is seriously the funniest thing I have seen, read, or heard all day! Thank you for sharing!

Isn't that sweet - she loves you. Besides it's hard not to love a potty trained Emu,right?

That's interesting...an anomaly?

If you're going to have an emu in the house, best that it's potty trained! Fun story @Pyxis

We definitely need video of her escaping. No doubt.

She was exiled to the garage last night, to a brooder with two foot tall walls instead of 18 inch walls.

Which she then jumped out of. That's impressive because unless she stretches up, the brooder is taller than she is.

Definitely gonna be needing to do tall fences to keep this one in.

When the chickens do that, I add a wire top to the brooder

Yeah, I put aviary netting over the top to keep her in. So far it has stopped her escaping escapades.
