Urgent help

I live in South Africa I am getting an emu chick very soon but sadly we don't get emu food up here or emu starter what can i use instead

Quick forum search turned up an older article regarding feeding emu. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/briefvisit-emu-chick-natural-nutrition.1191414/

Quick google search seemed to indicate that they'll need clean water around the clock, plenty of greens & fruits.

Hello, congrats on the upcoming emu chick! Here's a link to the forum where you can most likely get all the info you need: Ostriches, Emu, Rheas

Best wishes!
