Lesley Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I watched that on Breakfast this morning . Cute as it was I was a bit worried that the reporter went on the say something like " from this lovely green egg to cute chick in just 52 days" Let's hope not too many others fancy giving it a go without researching any possible problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ooo heck! Now I wonder who will be the first to hatch an emu? They now sell ostrich eggs in Waitrose - a single one in a box. I know Martin hatched quail from supermarket eggs...fancy a challenge Martin? Perhaps ~I shouldn't encourage him! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I understand that they aren't easy to rear, cute though they are. We only like to encourage responsible hatching on here folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I believe they can run fast & jump fences too? At least big buff orpingtons are manageable! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
