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: birth control?

The only way you can control fertility/hatch, is to separate the guys from the gals during breeding season (usually runs from late fall to March/April, or even May, if you have an exceptional layer. If you are into fence building, you could prepare two breeding pens; I would recommend nothing smaller than 25 ft. by 100 ft.. During breeding season, you could contain them and gather eggs every day or two. This way, the male won't have any to set on and make more babies.
I am hatching as we speak......aren't they the cutest things?
