My chickens were having a fit today and I found a cat in their pen. It hissed at me and ran under the coop. I'm trying to trap him. I think I'll get him neutered, vaccinated and wormed. I have a dog house I used to house my goat kids in. I can put some straw in there and keep a dish of food for him. If I bring him to the Humane Society he will be put down. He's pretty wild and scraggly.

Ok... I'm not into BONDAGE... But... Someone better bind my hands so I keep my grubby mitts of those babies trying to hatch....

Basement? Oh, no, no, no, my dear. Right in the living room, I'm sure, so he could watch from the comfort of his easy chair, right Doc?

With the cooler full of beer right next to him, and in his robe, of course.

H&R-Ummmm I have to look up emu info. They are tall, like buttons and all things shiny. The boys grunt and the females make a drumming noise in their chests when they see some thing or some one that does not belong in their territory. Their feathers are amazing to touch and all the ones I met were quite sweet.
I tried to link wiki but can't on this new site.

Anyway, they get 3-4 feet tall. The ones I house sat for had a fenced field with the little emu shed in it. The people had a boat load of land though. I would think that they need a decent sized fence in height-6 feet.. I'm not sure on if they need permits or not. I don't think they need permits but dh can ask the emu breeder. From what I have read very quickly their land requirements are minimal and chain link, hog wire, or 2"x 4" no climb wire works too. Apparently emu's can jump a 4 foot fence.
