This is genius! Can you do a video on the emu feeder and feed storage? Also how do you distribute enough feed based on average emu eating during a day to make sure they all are getting the food they need? I love seeing the geese! Are they hard keepers?
Thank you for the comment - Actually thought of this after I made the emu feeder - and yes, I will make another video of the feeder and the mix of food I use for the emus. I use a cement mixer and store feed in a 55 gal drum. I usually dump a 5 gal bucket of feed into my emu feeder whenever it looks low on feed - about every 2-3 days (in the summer they will eat less of this mixed feed and more vegetables & fruit. My winter mix will contain more carbohydrate rich grain (cracked corn) Each time I fill the 55 gal drum with feed, I mix different grain into it or different ratios - hoping they will not get bored with the supply. The geese are awesome - I want to get more now - They are not only a great alarm system (like the guineas) but they will go on the attack and try to chase away anything that they perceive to be a threat - even the goats have respect them lol
