Hey guys, in the 90s my parents decided to get into emu farming here in Australia. We started of with 16 adult birds, 8 pairs. They all went in a 5 acre paddock. We had large round bales of hay, 2 at each spot, with the edge of 2 bales touching to give a triangle area, windbreak to lay eggs. We collect eggs everyday and incubated. We ended up with 100 birds after 2 years.
What a shame no baby emus this time but I am very positive there is success in the future, thank you for everything you do and share with us, love all your videos.
I've been here since before you hatched out Bamboo. I'm so looking forward to more Emu in the future on your farm. I know you will have success! Give them time ❤
I strongly suspect the 2 eggs that had a small bit of blood and a little mass in them were fertile, but like you said the cold may have gotten them before they could develop further. Maybe thats why Peekaboo was breaking them earlier, trying to reclaim nutrients since she knew they died? Just based on how the other 2 eggs, one being rotten and the other pure yellow yolk. If that was the case then high hopes on the eggs Bert is trying to incubate and the others you picked up outside are fertile! Also cross fingers for switching the males.
Exciting one is sitting on them….hopefully you get at least one baby Emu! ❤ I am sorry people feel the need to attack you…it’s so unnecessary. Thank you for sharing your beautiful birds with us. ☺️
Happy Birthday Isiah. Wow it's 4 years already since you were born. I have been along time watching you and your family. You are a blessed little boy. I will continue in my own way asking the universe to continue its blessings upon you and your family in these troubled times.
It’s an undesirable result, but it’s an excellent learning experience for you and your kids. If everything right happens, you’ll never know how to act when something goes wrong. Count these experiences as blessings. You will soon prosper and it will be that much greater!
I have a family member who has emo eggs and they told me that the first couple off eggs would proply not be fertilized but after 1-2 years they odds get better hoping for next year!🥰
You so don’t have to put up with the snarky people, report them and block them. It’s that old saying “ if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” . Good luck with the breeding of the Emus🤞🙋🏼♀️
I agree why watch the video & then pop a stinky comment, those people are probably failing in their own lives & its coming from jealousy that someone's out there doing their best & learning as they are doing something for the first time & being transparent as to it worked or not & then think out of the box as how they can make it better & succeed next time. These stupid commenters probably have never done anything on this scale at all. Their parents never taught them any manners or they never heard of the saying, if you don't have anything good to say keep your mouth shut.
I have been anxiously awaiting this video. Sorry that they were all empty but thank you for sharing. Emus freak me out but I feel like I've learned a lot about them. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who opens up the unhatched eggs indoors.
that is the problem. Emus are no pets, and when they are, you see, what happens. Bamboo is only interested in human and not in female Emus. That is, why the eggs stay infertile...
These folks are nice enough to share parts of there lives with us and teach me so much so please if you have anything negative to say keep it to yourself God bless us all 😇🙏🏻
I can't believe Isaiah is already 4 years old. Where does the time go... I do wish some of the first set of emu eggs had been viable. At least you'd know the adults were actually doing their jobs. 😆 But it's not over yet. I've got my fingers crossed. 🤞
Happy belated Birthday Isaiah! I can't believe how quick time has passed & the kids are growing up, it seems like only yesterday you were doing hatching videos and then Bamboo came along. You'll work it out with the Emu's now you know they are breeding. I can imagine getting big projects done on the farm over the winter months is somewhat challenging, along with the delay we're still experiencing in supply for materials holding things up. It's your farm, we're just here for the ride 😊
Don't listen to the naysayers, they are just jealous of your success and just cruel individuals. You're a great man you've raised great children and you have a loving wife, a successful farming business the loving care you gave all your animals. Thank you for sharing your highs and lows with farming and the cost and energy it takes
I have been following you guys for years and have watched each and every video. Looking at Isaiah turn 4 makes me feel a little old, haha. Your videos always give me a lot of positivity and always put a smile on my face. It feels like a family. Your filming skills are excellent, and the background music makes it 100 times better. Belated happy birthday, Isaiah.
Keep in mind it is their first year of breeding. I wouldn't expect too much for the first year. You'll probably have much better luck next year though, so keep your spirits up!
I love your channel. You do an amazing job with your animals. Don't mind the negative comments, as you know there are negative critics everywhere. Keep up the great work. You guys will be blessed with baby emus really soon.
The eggs not being viable may be why the emus were ignoring them before and starting to break them. Sometimes animals just know if something's wrong and decide not to invest time in it. So sorry, and best of luck on the next batch. It's definitely encouraging that they're being cared for.
Animals can sense these kinda things. Just a natural circle of life but yet still beautiful to watch. Truly hope you get more babies in the near future. 🥰🥰
I was so excited for these emu eggs to get hatched but from the beginning I doubted about them being fertile, now hopefully their shifting will cause them to breed, hope for the best Love you nice people 💕
Life is one big learning experience, and I believe that one day you will have fertilized eggs that hatch from your emus. Till then its all trial and error and learning one day at a time. Keep up the good work and sending my best wishes to your family.
Happy Birthday!! There will be fertile eggs eventually. With a simultaneous polyandrous mating system it is the female that sets up territory and attracts many males to incubate her eggs. If the females are able to lay eggs in a separate shelter for each male, an area that could be closed off from all others, there may be more success with letting the males incubate. I'd imagine that the area doesn't have to be too large because the male will not venture far. Wait, I think I am living vicariously through you guys, lol. Can you tell I've raised my far share of birds. Good luck you guys.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with all of us. I think it's a beautiful thing that you post the triumphs AND fai...*ahem* learning moments. I often read through a lot of the comments. I imagine it must feel amazing for you (as a family) to touch so many people in such a positive way. I'm looking forward to continued content, but... THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!! 😂😂😂
So sorry to hear that things didn't work out. Maybe next year when they get to know each other better then things will be much better. At least the boys know how to take care of the eggs; now they just need to learn how to woo the ladies properly.
Probably won't be seen but another easy way to check for life is just putting the eggs in water to check if they're developing life. It's kind of like how bamboo moved when you checked on him with the egg shaking around and stuff but this should work DURING the process of them developing life. The heartbeat/developed baby should make the egg bounce around in the water early on so you can tell if there's a bird in there without having to just wait so long to know if they're fertile/alive. This works with all eggs I'm pretty sure
😢I'm so sorry that there wasn't any Emu babie, but I'm sure that it will happen. Hang in there White House On The Hill ❤🙏❤With all the love comes from that farm,yuuup, it's gonna happen....Take care Happy 4th B🎉rthday Little man!!💙💙💙💙
You are doing a great job. Ignore the ignorant ppl. Those ppl haven't been watching your family. We see you are making progress. Just keep moving forward as best you can. That's all anyone can do.
Well, they are all inexperienced. I too believe that next time will be better. Life throws many curves in families lives. One project at a time, that's all you can do. Jake you and Rebecca are very hard worker's and devoted parents. Ignore any negatives you get. God Bless!
I'd love to see a Emu hatch ! Love that bird ,and chickens too but don't know breed names ' I like the ones with fluffy heads and feet they are adorable . 💖
Happy Birthday young man 🎉. Snarky remarks don't belong being said. You're a beautiful family, and teaching your children valuable lessons about life. They will learn respect and responsibility from great parents. Too bad other children aren't taught the same ... morals and values. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. John 3:3-16
I'm sorry people are so rude! You guys are amazing and do such hard work every day! Raising children is hard enough and you do soo much more! Keep up the good work!
Watch Bamboo having learned breeding from watching the other boys and him being the one doing it since the girls are more farmilier with him, guess if Chasyew starts laying eggs that would be what's happened. I think it's possible since she's still laying and bert has been sitting for a while so if they're fertalized some are probably bamboo's? Hopefully some of the bert sat eggs hatch.
I’m sorry the egg’s you had in the incubator haven’t been fertilized. Prayers you will get some from Bert I love watching your channel! Don’t listen to the people who leave mean comments. Prayers
im sorry about your eggs! i would love it if you did more growing veg videos, im just starting to grown my own in my tiny yard and need all the help i can get
Don't listen to the naysayers. People should understand sometimes things happen when you have a farm. Everything takes time and money. Sometimes we just don't have enough of either of those things. You do what you can when you can. I don't think it's a lack of space. They are very young birds and learning something new takes time for all of us in my opinion. So I pray for you and your family to have success with the new batch of eggs. Maybe the other eggs were just to soon as they are new to the breeding and egg laying business. Good luck and Happy Birthday Isah. Sorry I got the spelling wrong

So sorry guys. I am rooting for the next batch. Keep the faith!
Thanks 😊

Wow, I remember when you first got Bambo, running around the house in a homemade diaper!! Look how far you've come.
It's adorable how Bert stepped right up and started sitting on the eggs 🥰
Yes, he's done an amazing job! Now let's hope those eggs are fertile and he's not wasting his time.
Bert is like a mom lol maybe even better then a mom

That's so sweet
Happy Birthday Isaiah I hope you had a wonderful birthday 🎉🥳🥳 I hope your other eggs hatch out ❤️🗝️👍🗝️🇺🇸
I love the dynamic farming! Would love to see more about that.
Happy Birthday Isiah 🍭🎂🍭🎂
Y'all are amazing with your animals. Everyone has an opinion, and you KNOW what that means!!!
Keep doing what your doing!😊
Awe man. I was so excited for y'all hatching more emu's. 🤞 that you'll get a hatched emu this yr.
Don’t listen to negative remarks you guys are amazing. ….

Love your videos! You have the life I dream of for my wife and 2 year old!!! Would love to raise my boy on a small farm like yours.
Prayers for your dream to come true ❤
You can do it, Justin!

Another way to see movement is to put the eggs in water
TH-camr ACCA or a chick called Albert did that. Hope this helps
You tried! Thanks for sharing. Hope for something soon!
Did they hatch yet? If not it ok maybe you get better luck next year
So sorry to hear that things didn't work out. Maybe next year when they get to know each other better then things will be much better.
At least the boys know how to take care of the eggs; now they just need to learn how to woo the ladies properly.
