If you are looking to buy emu
chicks or older birds you've come to the right place.
Songline Farm is currently taking orders and deposits for 2009
chicks. We anticipate hatching 60-100 chicks in April and
May. Chicks start at $150.00 each with an additional
$15.00 per month for feed/maintenance.
Breeding since 1995 we have
refined our lines to produce birds of exceptional docile
temperament and average production of 25 pounds of fat and 25 of
meat at 14 month processing.
We also have a number of 1 year
old birds that will come into their 1st breeding season this
coming fall, and possibly some older proven birds. As we
are currently reviewing our blood line strategy which older
birds and what prices have not yet been determined, but shall be
by late March.
We are able to provide histories
of egg production and fertility for most birds back three
generations. We have also been 100% correct in sexing all
birds which we have sold.
Why Emu Farming?
Now is the time to seize the opportunity to become involved in America's newest and most exciting agri-business. The product demand cycle is picking up speed as more consumers become aware of the healthy and vital products produced by the emu.
Because the bird population
has shrunk since the 2002 farm census while product demand has
increased we are facing supply shortages. As a result, the industry will enjoy a returned value for existing breeding birds and higher prices for foundation stock as well as
processing stock.
