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!)

Emu Chicks

Thank you for helping with my Emus. I have another question. How do you tell the male from the female in chicks? I have found homes for the 9 chicks we have but would like to know the sex of each. How big should they be before we give them away? Thank you.

http://www.redoakfarm.com/how_do_we_tell_them_apart.htm has info on sexing chicks. You can be taken from the Papa at any time. If they are going to be raised as pets, the sooner the better.
