You have Emu's Frank......

They are sooooo cute. I bet they eat a ton.

No I got the eggs off Ebay

Awesome! I'll be following along. Egg #1 doesn't sound too good. Can you imagine the mess if it exploded

It would really S - T - I - N - K - !!!!!

Frank.... I just used your formula to calculate and my egg lost 1.842 g on day 5.

I am going to hatch an EMU.

hopefully you will but I found out that the eggs will still lose weight even if they are not fertile

OOOOOO ok... so I shouldn't' rush out and find more eggs. I can't have a lone Emu.

Does anyone have some old Playstation2 games they want to swap for?

I might! I'll get DD to sort out what she doesn't want. It hardly gets played since she got a Wii. I know there are racing games, motocross and shooting stuff that were son's when he was younger.

She's not going to get much bigger if you keep feeding her Diet Mountain Dew!

Very cute!

Thanks for the tip! LMAO

Polish roo is mad at me for Wednesday I guess. Normally I cover his run with a waterproof tarp when it rains, because they do not go in the coop at night by themselves or when it rains. So yes, every night, I go inside and pick them up say good night and put them in the coop 2 steps where they perch. Good gravy! But they have come to expect this. So I was picking my granddaughter up from school early (parent teacher conference day) and it started POURING. Made it home in 8 minutes flat and they OF COURSE did not walk in to the coop and since it was light out they would not let me pick them up. I tried but he was upset by the down pour of ran and he jumped at me and I busted my nose on a 2x4........(breath....count to ten.....don't kill the chicken.....) So I covered the run and left them.

Next morning he I went to put food inside the feeder and he came at me to chest bump me. I pushed him gently with the feed scoop in mid flight. He fell backwards, took a breath and did it again. This time I push slightly harder and he got to his feet, shook his head and decided maybe I could be the boss today. Good choice. When I put him to bed last night, he was fine but went inside then stuck his head out to watch me leave. I did the 2 finger to the eyes motion and said '"I'm watching you." I think he stuck his tongue out at me. I yelled as I was walking away, I'm having fried chicken for supper tomorrow and your invited." Well made me fell better......

Today I went to get another egg from the polish coop and the rooster ran inside the coop and pecked my hand as I reached inside. Scared me soooo bad I smashed the egg pulling my hand out. Crazy rooster. What was he thinking? Did he think I was a snake? Guess I will have to feed them treats before egg collecting. Glad to know he protects his girls and eggs well. But my poor finger!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went back out there today to make nice... Threw some meal worms in there and lettuce. Maybe he wants a bigger run. Hmmm more room to bounce around, goofy polish. Maybe I should trim his hair so he can see. ....... All I can say is it's a good thing he so pretty and normally loveable.......cause my nose and finger are still sore. Sorry....had to vent.
