Emu Sumi Art and DNA gender sexing
Added 2017-01-24 22:20:29 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Thanks to my awesome patrons, I was able to order a DNA test to see if our emus are he-mus or she-mus, I should know soon! I would like to breed them eventually, so this will let me know if I need to order a few more eggs soon or not. Emus breed over the (US) winter time, so eggs are available now until about March. I would incubate them in the house again and have a few new babies. If I do have a pair, I would wait until they eventually give me eggs, which could happen in another few years. Emus are very interesting in that the male is the one who incubates eggs and raises babies - which makes a lot of sense since female emus put such a huge amount of resources (nutritionally) into laying those huge eggs!
You also get a first peek at some emu art that I just finished - yes, I might be a little obsessed. :)
Thank you again, so much, for supporting our farm and my art efforts, I really appreciate it! I have a lot of exciting works coming up that I can't wait to share with you!
