We want this forum to be a place where everyone can feel comfortable and be welcome. We want this to be a place for people to ask questions and get answers regarding emu meat and emu by-products like the oil.

 We also run a Yahoo group for emu farmers to discuss husbandry issues.  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/emufarm 

 We like to think that everyone knows the proper way to act on a public message board, but just in case we will give a few pointers for our posters to go by.

1. Absolutely no personal attacks will be tolerated.

2. The world would be a very dull place if everyone agreed with everyone else, but when you disagree here, please give your differing opinion with respect. Rude or abusive posts will be deleted.

3. If you feel that you can not express your differing opinion without being rude or hurtful things, then please save me some time by using the SOB rule: Scroll on By. 4. Please invite your friends to join us and if possible, provide a link to our site on your personal web page. (We would really appreciate it!)

Re: Egg-laying problems?

Heidi,

Emu are short day breeders - so the length of time they lay - from the beginning of laying season to the end, will be affected by where on the planet you are living. Here in Tennessee I don't usually see my first egg until the end of November, but they started two weeks earlier this year.

I have moved birds from one farm to another and had no eggs at all the first breeding season, so I would not worry about her. It may take a while for her to get back into a three day cycle. Keep in mind that the examination you just did is going to throw her off also.
