Woohoo! 4 emu chicks... and counting!

[ChanceRider]

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

Congrats! I didn't know the males hatched the eggs.

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

Congrates! Can't wait to see pics I'm thinking about getting a couple emu babies

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?
