for being the first ever member to hatch an Emu in the Easter Hatchalong! With a 53 day incubation, that's a lot of waiting! We all enjoyed the videos of the other 2 emu chicks hatching! We're sorry the Easter chick didn't make it.

You still deserve a round of applause!

Very nice & well earned!

What hatchery? I don't want to get mine from Meyers hatchery because I have gotten nothing but horrible chickens! Like Ive got two roosters with cross beak from there and a couple hens with missing toes... and also extra toe nails...

Bummer I got mine from meyers

quick google search shows cackle hatchery, murray mcmurray, california hatchery and whelp hatchery have them as well. If I wanted to get really nice ones to breed or whatnot I could do a more thorough search and probably find a good breeder?

The total number of chicks hatched in the 2014 Easter Hatchalong was..............

Congratz! @angelobutter I'm going to buy them from meyers... Meyers is only 20-30 min away from me.

How big is every ones flock size?!

Is it okay to not know without going to the records binder and counting up the brooders?

It will be less by Sunday - local poultry auction is tomorrow, and I promised...

Good question!

A lot of mine are at an egg farm--I do not know how many are there now.
