Oh my word, they are cute!! I'd have a hard time choosing too. No chance Khaleesi will keep those baby blues? They are gorgeous...and yep, Tank has that "Oh, bother" look!

I know, I missed you Chooks!

I had a bad time with a member on the boards, and decided to just make myself scarce because I hate drama. I can't stay away from chickens though .

Sorry about the drama, but glad you came back!

EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to add pictures!!! Who can resist baby pictures???? We decided to keep 2 of the pups...because hubby and I couldn't agree on boy or girl (I wanted to keep a girl, he wanted a boy, and neither one of us would give in to the other

). The next argument is going to be which one (or both) gets fixed...can't have a brother and sister mating!

This is my girl...her name is Khaleesi. She is a DARLING!



And this is hubby's boy, Tank. He's a brute...biggest of all the pups. A loner. He's got that "I could care less" attitude.

They are both adorable, but that girl is just precious!

Does anybody know if emu and goats can share a pasture? I would think not, but

Sort of. My friend has her fainting goats in with 2 of her emus. They have been fine together until one of the goats went into heat. Now she is trying to woo the emu and in the process running him ragged. Emu's have short bursts of speeds like a sprinter, but cannot sustain long chasing by a goat. So my friend is trying to figure out how to separate them and give the goats their own area.

Also, you need to introduce them together when they are young. Emu's are territorial, and now that they are adults and have their accepted "flock", they will stomp other animals to death.

Today is set day for Emu eggs!

Here is a good discussion as I have seen plenty of y'all hatch all kinda eggies!

TELL us what you think!



Why should round eggs not be incubated?

• The air sac is likely to be displaced, when the chicken starts to hatch it won't be able to breathe.. As the chicken will start pipping where the air sac should be, it won't be able to breathe as there is no air.
