Enoch, my wonderful brooder boy, came through again this year! Today, 4 of the cutest emu chicks hatched, plus there are still 4 eggs under him. It's an emu chick jackpot! I'm already sad thinking that two of them will move to a new home this weekend. Since they're going to a relative nearby, we'll have frequent visits.

I'll try to post pics when I get to my laptop. Woot!! Happy dancing :)
 
Yep, with emus it's the male who sits on the nest for roughly 56 days. They're such fascinating creatures to me, so inquisitive and prehistoric looking. And I *think* there's another hatchling this morning :D
 
I dearly want an emu. Just moved to a new house with a nice empty yard & barn! Can't wait to hear more about yours!
 
Hey Chace Rider! How are the Emu babies doing? I love them when they are tiny! Oh BTW, what's up with 13 chickens? :)
