The emu’s egg is about 14 times larger than the chicken egg.
Unfortunately, only one of the eggs were fertilized

A picture of the only EMUs. Osgood didn’t survive a chick because he was weak and not even able to get out of the shell.
Perhaps the farmer had not fulfilled all the necessary conditions of incubation, he had little experience, but he was struggling.
After a week the chick is fully grown

It was called Paul. A little later they found out that it was a female, but they left the name.

This photo was taken 2 weeks after hatching. George had to leave on business for a few days but didn’t want to leave the EMU alone. Journey together was not the easiest, but still memorable.
Paul in 6 weeks

The color of the head and neck had changed, darkened.

The bird could barely walk, did not eat or drink. The farmer drove emu to a veterinarian, who already had experience of treating ostriches in South Africa. The specialist did not begin to reassure George: the condition of the pit was critical.
In two weeks, the bird managed to overcome the disease

It seems that until she cannot identify herself: whether it’s a chicken, or a dog, or a person.
