Emus Poultry for sale

8 Emus Poultry for sale

Emu, also known as the Australian Emu, originates from Australia and is one of the largest flightless birds in the world. It is characterised by its impressive height of up to 1.9 meters, shaggy grey-brown feathers, long neck, and powerful legs suited for fast running. The emu has small, vestigial wings and three-toed feet, making it a striking and unique species. Known for its curious but cautious temperament, the emu is a resilient bird able to travel great distances at speeds of up to 50 km/h. This adaptability makes it suitable for various environments, particularly in farming for meat, oil, and leather within the UK market. Popular search queries like "emu for sale UK," "emus for sale," and "emu chicks for sale" reflect a growing interest in breeding or owning emus as unusual poultry or pets. Emus require ample space and a secure environment, as well as a diet consisting of plants, seeds, fruits, and insects. Their gentle nature makes them suitable for enthusiasts looking to raise exotic birds, provided their specific care needs are met.

FAQs

Is an emu considered poultry?

An emu is not considered poultry; it is a large flightless bird classified as a ratite, closely related to cassowaries and ostriches, and belongs to its own family distinct from common poultry like chickens and turkeys.

What products do farmers get from emus?

Farmers raise emus primarily for their lean, low-fat meat which is rich in protein and vitamins, for emu oil used as a natural skin moisturizer, and also for emu eggs and feathers which have unique uses.

Is emu meat a healthy alternative to chicken?

Yes, emu meat is considered a healthier alternative to chicken as it is lower in fat and cholesterol and contains higher levels of vitamins C and E and iron, although it is less common and more expensive.

Why is raising emus expensive and challenging?

Raising emus is expensive and challenging due to their need for ample space, specialized care, and the difficulty in processing their meat since few facilities are approved to handle large flightless birds, which limits legal sale and increases costs.
