Delightful little miracle isn't it? :-)
I never tired of hatching chicks...
It's one thing I really miss about keeping chickens and
ducks. <sigh>

did you ever have emu chicks? i've never seen a chick, only
adult emus (& somehow i don't think i could convince Tom we
should get emus...)

Do emus keep away fox?

They will chase and stomp any dogs that get into their pen.

Emus HATE dogs!

afaik, emus hate everyone, not just dogs <g>

Depends on the emu. ;-)


although, one fell in love with my dad one time & followed him around all
day to the point where it became ridiculous. i think it was his grey hairy
jumper, and a bit of cross-species confusion due to living in an unnatural
environment.

The one I kept is practically a "lap bird", or would be if she did not
weigh 130 lbs. ;-)
