Male emus care for the young chicks for 4-5 months. The female emu has no part in raising the chicks.
Between 48 to 52 weeks
An emu chick is a baby emu.
It takes exactly 8 weeks for a emu egg to hatch, & they should be incubated at a steady temp of 96-97 degrees. If incubated at a higher temperature, the chicks will have trouble getting out of the egg. This is because the egg shell hardens.
A young emu is a chick.
Baby emuA young emu is called a chick or hatchling
The emu does not feed its young, but it does teach them how to find their own food on the ground. Like chicken, emu chicks are quite advanced when they hatch.
I just bought an emu egg from an emu farm. The owner of the farm told me 1 hour and 45 minutes to hard boil the egg.

This is not a question
because the chicken egg is much smaller than the emu egg . and ask jeeves cuz i dont know haha because the chicken egg is much smaller than the emu egg . and ask jeeves cuz i dont know haha speaking from having experience raising chickens they take less time because the yolk takes less time to develop into a chick unlike a emu their eggs are ten time bigger so the egg needs more time to hatch
To hatch emu eggs with the involvement of a male emu, first, ensure the eggs are collected from a healthy female and are fertile. Place the eggs in an incubator set to around 97-100°F (36-38°C) with a humidity level of approximately 25-30%. If allowing the male emu to incubate the eggs, place them in a suitable nesting area where he can take care of them, as male emus are known to incubate and care for the eggs themselves. The incubation period lasts about 50-55 days, during which the male will periodically turn the eggs and maintain optimal conditions.
If the baby emu has a permanently splayed leg, then it has formed that way as a result of being sat on too hard, for too long, by the parent emu. There is nothing that can be done to correct this, but if the bird can still move around, it will learn to adapt.
