While walking the woods with a friend and lots of dogs this morning, Farmer Mary found the first emu egg!
The emu had been walking the far left fenceline for weeks, beating a path along the fence. This is where the emu nest was last year. However, the egg found this morning was in the way back of the ten acres along the fenceline near where the nest was several years ago.
By noon, there were two eggs!
Of course, Charlie the farm dog had to investigate. Charlie wasn’t at the farm to see the eggs last year and he was pretty amazed at their size and color!
Come see the emu and their nest soon..maybe this will be the year that the male finally sets long enough to hatch some babies!
Here is a picture of the emu near the nest this morning.
