Emu Waitlist & Vetting form

READ COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. Please note that how you answer these questions determines whether you are ready for emu ownership. If you get to a question and don’t have an answer then you’re probably not ready for emu just yet! Emu ownership is something that should be taken seriously and not approached on a whim. As a responsible breeder, chicks will only go to serious and prepared owners. Chicks are so adorable it’s a challenge not to get wrapped up in the excitement, however, these birds grow into huge powerful animals which require specific diets, strong and tall fencing with adequate space for running. They also will live over thirty years in captivity so they are a lifelong commitment. All our chicks are from a single breeding pair, Marvin our standard female and Forest our white male. They produce 100% blonde chicks which are all siblings and should NOT be bred. Resulting offspring from a sibling pairing would be inbred and suffer very poor health. If you plan on breeding please source your second chick from another responsible breeder. If you are prepared for all of those things, they make a wonderful pet or livestock option.

At Olive Branch Farm we always put the health and well being of our animals first. I'm sorry to inform you that since you do not own your property we are not able to add you to our Waitlist at this time. As stated above Emu's can live 30+ years in captivity and moving a adult animal is not only difficult but often results in injury. To help limits this we have a policy that we only sell to customer who own the property where the animal will be residing.

Please check back with us when your cirumstances change.

Thank you
