A little snippet into how some of our first nations care for the Emoos. As they have begun hatching here signalling the middle of winter thought it would be appropriate for more emu talk.

So were you raised where they ran wild or did you get your egg from somewhere else?

Neighbor feeding racoons for some reason. They were so bold they were destroying my ducks and chickens in the middle of the afternoon, alot died, i sold a couple before they got eaten

Did i mention that i hate raccoons? - Poor duckies and chickies!
I would egg that neighbors house with the oldest duck-eggs i could find.

Here we would get in a lot of trouble for doing that. I would trap them and give them a dirt bath after they went for a very long swim in the trap in a garbage can.

We had an emu farm

Unless you are first nations it is illegal to take their eggs from the wild or even hunt them.

It is too hot! If I wanted this heat and humidity, I wouldn't live in Vermont. Bleh.

Trying to do some cleaning to get ready for my NPIP testing on Monday and it was so hot I barely got through one coop before I had to call it. I also managed to cut myself on a nail that was randomly sticking out of a shelf that had fallen off the wall in my workshop, so that's great and now I'm wondering when my last tetanus shot was. Gonna have to call the doctor tomorrow morning to find out.

On the bright side, I DID get my emu pasture cam set up today, so there's that! Spot the emu:

I guess it will be more like spot the wyze-cam if the Emus discover the camera…
Or: How do Emus look like from the inside?
