how many emu do you have?

Two, at the moment

 

[cheepteach]

they require a lot of space and reinforced fencing, don't they?

Yeah, though you can do breeding pens in the range of 100 feet by 20 feet. Mine have more space than that. Fencing needs to be at least six feet tall, or they can and will jump over it.

Have I shared a picture of my new boy emu with you guys?

He's fairly shy, but he's warming up. He's only been here a week. Today he felt confident enough to nibble on my fingers a bit through the fence.

Why did I think you bought a boy a month back????

@WVduckchick - missing any pigeons ?

Nope. The python knows better.
Although I am selling a few some tomorrow. Get me back down around 30ish.

How old is he? What color? You still have Ciara? (I probably spelled that wrong lol)

Because I did, lol. But it turned out he was a she! She started drumming about a week and a half after I got her. So, not wanting to make that mistake again, I went to the farm she came from, pulled feathers from the remaining three possible males, sent them off for DNA testing, and then we swapped the female for this guy, who is a DNA certified male, lol.

He's two, and he's a regular standard brown. I definitely still have Ciara This guy is here to be her boyfriend. Hoping for fertile eggs and chicks this year!

Sweet!! I’d love to see some videos of them.

I’m picking up some guinea eggs tomorrow, first for me. Although I’m not hatching them for myself, the keets will go to my daughter.

Ah!

Are you disappointed that he isn't a fancy color?
