On our farm we have Chickens, Peacocks and Emus.  Most years we have hatching eggs for sale from all of the birds.  We occasionally have chicks for sale also  (but not always).  Feel free to contact us in the spring and summer months to check on availability.  We DO NOT ship live birds, but we DO ship hatching eggs.  We are located in MINNESOTA. 

Update about Emu Eggs for 2021:
 We do NOT have any Emu Chicks for sale. 

Emu eggs are USUALLY for sale from January to April of the current year.  Eggs sell for $35 each and $25 shipping for up to 2 eggs.  If you wish for your eggs to receive SPECIAL HANDLING from the USPS there is an additional charge of $11 charged by them, in addition to the shipping cost.  If this is something you want, please let me know and include the extra $11 in your payment.  I would say under ALL circumstances, this is a good idea, but not everyone wants to pay it.  To the best of my knowledge this is the same handling used to transport live baby chicks. 

We have only one mating pair of emu so we only sell eggs 2 at a time. Our hen does not lay them fast enough for us to sell more at a time.  She lays only every 3 days.    We do not guarantee hatch rates or fertility rates as there is literally no way for us to do so.  If you are paying thru paypal, please add 4% to cover paypal fees. 

If you are fortunate enough to hatch some emu chicks at your house, PLEASE look online for information on "hobbling".  I consider it VERY IMPORTANT that all Emu Chicks hatched are hobbled for the first 72 hours.  The reason for this is because when the Emu chick hatches, it's body absorbs all the nutrients in the egg upon hatching.  This makes the Emu chicks body very heavy,  yet the legs are still weak.  The Emu chick is supposed to be hobbled for 3 days. 

If you watch parent Emus with newly hatched chicks they will "hobble" them by pecking them on the head every time they stand up the first few days.  Because I can not sit there and tap them soundly on the head every time they stand up we hobble them using tape. 

We use blue painters tape for hobbling.  You wrap one end of tape around the leg and then stretch it across a couple inches and wrap the second leg so the legs are straight and attached together to keep them straight.  A strong emu chick will still be able to stand up, but will not be able to walk.  (you do need to keep an eye on them and save them if they tip over and struggle.  The blue painters tape will peel off their legs safely when you remove it in a few days. )  The theory is that once the chick is strong enough to stand up and walk and break the tape, he/she is strong enough to not need it.   

It is also VERY IMPORTANT that you NEVER , EVER put your emu chick on a smooth surface that will cause leg splaying.  (we keep ours on a screen bottom cage or on the dirt outside if its nice enough) Another important tip is to NOT overfeed your emu chicks.  This will result in them getting too heavy for their legs and can also cause leg splaying. One way to prevent overeating is to take their food away at night.  Emu chicks will eat 24/7 since they have a light/heat lamp.  Taking away the food at night prevents this.  Once an Emu's leg starts to splay out it will get steadily worse and eventually the emu will be unable to stand. Not hobbling, over-feeding, and / or using a smooth surface can cause splayed leg in your emu chick and this is 100% a death sentence, as no bird can live with only one good leg. (I am absolutely serious, and I learned this the hard way)   

​If you have any questions about this, CALL ME or GOOGLE this before you hatch Emu Chicks so you are prepared.  There is very little information online about the importance of hobbling Emu chicks, but it is out there and it is the absolute most important thing for you to do once you hatch an Emu chick. 

Update about Peacock eggs:


Peacock Egg season in MN starts about Mid May (on good weather years) and lasts until early August.  By August the males are dropping their trains, and mating season is coming to a close. 

We are ONLY selling MYSTERY eggs until further notice.  No pure colors.  We are leaving all of our breeders together and letting them surprise us!  We have adult males and females in the following colors, WHITE, INDIA BLUE, & BLACK SHOULDER.  NO ADULT BREEDERS are For Sale. 

Eggs are $15 each and we charge $25 shipping no matter how many eggs are in the box.   Due to a limited number of hens this year it is likely I can only sell 10 eggs at a time as that is the maximum amount I will get quickly in any given week.   If you wish for your eggs to receive SPECIAL HANDLING from the USPS there is an additional charge of $11 charged by them, in addition to the shipping cost.  If this is something you want, please let me know and include the extra $11 in your payment.  I would say under ALL circumstances, this is a good idea, but not everyone wants to pay it.  To the best of my knowledge, this is the same special handling given to live baby chicks. 

Best way to pay is thru paypal to my email address.  ( kids.no.1.choice@msn.com ) If you would rather mail a check that is fine as well.  (or a money order, cashiers check etc..)  PLEASE contact me first thru email (before you send money) so that I know who you are and what you want and so that you can give me your mailing address!    Eggs are shipped out in the order they are paid for once they are laid.  

We do not guarantee hatch rates or fertility rates.  Ordering shipped eggs is a Gamble!  There are many factors that will affect your hatch rates , and I have no control over any of them. 

If you are paying thru paypal, please add 4% to cover paypal fees. 

We are currently not incubating any chicken eggs.  We usually have some very persistent momma's that sit on their own eggs in the spring and hatch their own babies.     These are all barn yard mix chicks and sell for $5 each when we have them.
