At 14 to 18 months of age they will weigh between 80 and 120 pounds. Many female Emu can lay eggs before they are 2 years old, whereas males attain sexually maturity between 3 and 4 years of age.

Emus breed just once a year, and their breeding cycle begins as the days start to become shorter - around April in Australia. Winter is therefore the emu breeding season. Australian research has proven that emu breeding season is dependent upon the length of the day. The amount of daylight directly influences the production of reproductive hormones, and this not only affects when the females lay eggs, but also when the males mate.

Emu males look after the eggs. They will often stop eating and drinking while incubating the eggs.

There is no species of bird in which the male lays the eggs. Male emus do not lay the eggs, but they do incubate them.

Yes. Male emus build the nest and incubate the eggs once the female has been enticed to lay them in the nest he has built. They will incubate the eggs of more than one female at a time.
