Poor Dude. He is lost without his "chicken book" buddies. It is nice to finally get some work out of him though.

Keep him busy, honey, he'll be bored and willing to work.

I understand that they are a pretty docile bird. Is that true?

Yesbut they are really curious and really like to check out exposed ears!! Been nipped a few times really hurts.

Ouch! If I ever get up close a personal to one I'll try to remember that.

This is what I work with all day at the Montana Emu Ranch.

Oh wow... what do they raise them for? Meat, eggs, feathers, resale? I would love a dozen blown eggs ready for carving.....

one for each of the chiken coops....

I love the whole range feeder concept....

Well, let's see, here's the Bunny at about age 16 (I had braces then, can you tell?

):


But Jess, I hear the word "emu," and my mind goes to this guy (from about the same era)

OK... how do you do the egg? Scramble it first? Toss it is when the water is still in with the noodles? Huh? I need to know!

That old lady sounds like truly impressively sour grapes.

Super sad that she can't be nice to both of her sons and their kids.

As to you,

yep, that is tough!

Wow...gone for one day come back to go-to dancers, mean old ladies and round it out with some 80s music. Lol! You guys are a great way to end a day with an even better laugh.

Jess are emus really comfortable in snow? What is the lowest temperature they can handle? Do they allow any of emu boys to hatch eggs or just via incubators.

Sheriff (Mary) on "Stella's Social club". has two pair of emus - one of the females has been laying and the male is making efforts at building a nest. Mary so far, has taken the eggs away because she doesn't want

any more emus now. She is in California so I imagine that is plenty warm enough for them. When the four were young, Mary often posted videos of them - just fascinating creatures.
