I have 3 Emus. 1 female, Edwina,10+yrs old, and 2 males, 3 yrs old, Ayleth and Clyde.
Edwina started laying this February. First time since she has lived her (10 yrs) Ayleth is now setting on 8 eggs and I am anxiously awaiting for chicks hatching any day now.
I was not prepared for eggs. She started laying and Ayleth started setting before we realized what was really happening.
Sooooo, we now have 8 eggs under Ayleth that were laid every few days

Yesterday I found one of our hens kind of snuggled under him. Then I found egg yolk on some of the eggs. I thought one had cracked or something but it didn’t smell, so that didn’t make sense. Then I remembered the hen! I think she laid an egg and Ayleth crushed it.
If. Anyone is interested I will post what happens over the next few weeks. Hopefully Ayleth gets a few hatched out ?
