Best Answer

Emu eggs are about 13cm x 9cm in size, and have a capacity which is the equivalent of 10-12 chicken eggs.

They are dark green in colour. The curious thing about emu eggs is revealed when they are etched. Etching uncovers layers of different colours, ranging between dark shades, light shades and some in-between hues.

Emus are Flightless Birds, with no visible wings, but wings hidden beneath hairy feathers. They grow to between 1.6 metres and 2 metres high, on average, and weigh between 30 and 45 kilograms, with the female usually slightly heavier than the male. Emus have three toes on each of their strong legs, an adaptation common in birds built for ground speed rather than flight. Each toe has a claw of 17-18 mm in length.

Emus have double feathers, meaning that the bird looks like it has hair, rather than feathers. These soft light brown to dark brown wispy feathers are common on their body and the top of their heads, but sparse on their necks, where blue skin is visible. Their shaggy feathers act as insulation against heat, whilst their head feathers are darker. They have brown eyes.
