Okay, i know this thread for peas, but there is few people said they would love to see emu chick, so here its we officially had emu chick e He is five days earlier, also expecting two to hatch soon! If anyone know tips or have links for raising and caring for emu chicks i would be glad to see it.

Congrats!!!

Oh here I was whining about my lack of females and came across this beauty!
Opinions? Black shoulder is how it's advertised. I'm so leary of buying est. birds from unknown but the fact she's being held is a big plus in my eyes.

I think I would just throw a rope and lasso it....and then try and worm it.....lol

I needed to hear that my Green gets here some time this next week!

I do think Birdman is joking, especially considering it sounds like he had quite a rodeo today trying to catch half wild pieds

Birdman, where are the tutorial pics???

@q8peafowl - such a cute big baby!

Did you know that there's an emu section here on BYC?

I'm sure they will have lots of advice for you over there! Let's hope they are as friendly as pea-people!

I was so joking....lol.....

....it wasn't hard to catch them it was hard to hold onto them.....but when I do the rest of them today...I will surely get some pics....I do think a smaller net works better then the larger one...just my thoughts....but the older males with trains just jump straight into the net and it keeps the train out of the net and in better shape when handling them....but I will for sure take some pics...I should have yesterday....sorry about that my peeps...lol......

Birdman now I was the one kidding around. I knew you were joking and I think everyone else did too but you never know! How in the world do you get pics with all of that?

Well now you know the awful poops we were kept referring to!

 

[birdman55]

oh lol....well pics take time that's for sure but you need two people for sure...but its not easy to take pics...a third person just taking pics would be the easiest....that's for sure...but I will try my best...the incubator is almost done...boy I cant wait....then onto the brooders...boy its such a time crunch....yesterday the older birds just let me come up to them and just pick them right up...they knew what time it was...lol
