Uncertain Caring for an emu can be a difficult endeavor. The needs of a breeding pair are different then those of a growing chick. Separate pens are required. The fences should be at least five feet high and made of small enough fence that the birds cannot get stuck in it. Emus require shade from the sun as well as a shelter to enter during cold weather.
Young emus are very vulnerable to disease until they are about three months old.
Common health problems are stress, diarrhea, hardware disease and stomach impaction. It is necessary to establish a health program if one desires to raise emus. One must also keep the pens clean and safe and ensure the birds receive the proper balance of vitamins and minerals. Don't forget to subscribe to our Newsletter. All rights reserved.
