Ostrich chicks

[Stone]

Baby animals! irresitible.

 

[Secundino]

Yeah, like little mealy bugs.

They're much like our local poultry, only a little larger.

An absolute must in the garden - pest (recalcitrant children) & weed control, earth moving, demolition and are very useful for cracking our only commercial nut, the macadamia.

 

[SlipperFan]

Send me one.

 

[goldenrose]

Send me one.

Ah, com'on, just one? Don't you need a pair?

That's a beautiful bird, but it looks large and dangerous. Does this one
disembowel threatening humans?

Nice pics and interesting they are breaded here too,
it was a run some years ago, but at the moment it gets normal

Yes, you Germans love the breaded meats...

Lovely pics, Trithor. I look forward to seeing more pics of your farm.

Aaaarh cute little babies!

I used to breed chickens for show, as well as eggs and meat (never actually made it to a show). My incubator could hold 90 chicken eggs and I hatched ducks and geese as well. If I hadn't had to move and get rid of all my stock, my dream was to get emus. I love the colour of the eggs and they apparently are a lot more easy going then rheas or ostriches.

Thanks for sharing Thrithor!

Forget Emus, I greeded them for years, but they tatse terrible.
The Eggs are the best thing, but the birds are so stupid....
