On Saturday while taking visitors on a tour of the back pasture and woods, Farmer Mary found another emu egg. The group watched as the male emu patiently covered his egg, using his beak to lift individual leaves and bits of pinestraw.
The original two eggs are still in a little pile by the back fence…we are not sure if they will all be combined into a nest. Every day brings something new to see at Winterpast farm!
Farmer Mary has a few of last year’s eggs (cleaned out) available for sale $10
Come see the emu nest soon and meet and pet a friendly emu. They will eat an apple slice, small carrot, cereal or bread out of your hand.
