Hey guys, in the 90s my parents decided to get into emu farming here in Australia. We started of with 16 adult birds, 8 pairs. They all went in a 5 acre paddock. We had large round bales of hay, 2 at each spot, with the edge of 2 bales touching to give a triangle area, windbreak to lay eggs. We collect eggs everyday and incubated. We ended up with 100 birds after 2 years.
100,too much dude😅
So sorry guys. I am rooting for the next batch. Keep the faith!
Thanks 😊
you spoiled it
You spoiled it
HOW HE SPOIL IT HUH
@@nicoamarante4673 could have just waited to go into the comment until you finished the video. You spoiled it to yourself.
You so don’t have to put up with the snarky people, report them and block them. It’s that old saying “ if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” . Good luck with the breeding of the Emus🤞🙋🏼♀️
Agreed
I agree why watch the video & then pop a stinky comment, those people are probably failing in their own lives & its coming from jealousy that someone's out there doing their best & learning as they are doing something for the first time & being transparent as to it worked or not & then think out of the box as how they can make it better & succeed next time. These stupid commenters probably have never done anything on this scale at all. Their parents never taught them any manners or they never heard of the saying, if you don't have anything good to say keep your mouth shut.
Agree
@@whitehouseonthehill ❤
That's how brandon stole the show lady. That's how injections were forced lmao let's go brandon wooo!!!
It's adorable how Bert stepped right up and started sitting on the eggs 🥰
Yes, he's done an amazing job! Now let's hope those eggs are fertile and he's not wasting his time.
Bert is like a mom lol maybe even better then a mom
Deshustag
That's so sweet
Can’t believe I have followed you all that long since your first egg hatched bamboo xxx
What a shame no baby emus this time but I am very positive there is success in the future, thank you for everything you do and share with us, love all your videos.
I appreciate it, Angelina
❤ I came here since you showed Bamboo being born. Can't wait the outcome of this video. Just started watching, couldn't resist leaving a comment 😊
I strongly suspect the 2 eggs that had a small bit of blood and a little mass in them were fertile, but like you said the cold may have gotten them before they could develop further. Maybe thats why Peekaboo was breaking them earlier, trying to reclaim nutrients since she knew they died? Just based on how the other 2 eggs, one being rotten and the other pure yellow yolk. If that was the case then high hopes on the eggs Bert is trying to incubate and the others you picked up outside are fertile! Also cross fingers for switching the males.
Wow I have been following this channel for nearly 5 years now 😮❤
I was just thinking the same thing! I didn't think that much time has gone by.
Exciting one is sitting on them….hopefully you get at least one baby Emu! ❤ I am sorry people feel the need to attack you…it’s so unnecessary. Thank you for sharing your beautiful birds with us. ☺️
Thank you, Cat
Oh that puts into perspective how long I've been watching you guys I can remember Isaiah being born. Happy late Birthday little man!
😊
The eggs not being viable may be why the emus were ignoring them before and starting to break them. Sometimes animals just know if something's wrong and decide not to invest time in it. So sorry, and best of luck on the next batch. It's definitely encouraging that they're being cared for.
@fox1098216, sounds about right. The birds can probably sense what's what with the eggs.
I can't believe Isaiah is already 4 years old. Where does the time go... I do wish some of the first set of emu eggs had been viable. At least you'd know the adults were actually doing their jobs. 😆 But it's not over yet. I've got my fingers crossed. 🤞
It’s an undesirable result, but it’s an excellent learning experience for you and your kids. If everything right happens, you’ll never know how to act when something goes wrong. Count these experiences as blessings. You will soon prosper and it will be that much greater!
Don’t listen to negative remarks you guys are amazing. …. ❤
I've been here since before you hatched out Bamboo. I'm so looking forward to more Emu in the future on your farm. I know you will have success! Give them time ❤
its kind of crazy to think that i've been watching your videos for 5+ years already, before that little guy was born. Happy birthday little one
Happy Birthday Isaiah I hope you had a wonderful birthday 🎉🥳🥳 I hope your other eggs hatch out ❤️🗝️👍🗝️🇺🇸
Happy birthday Isaiah 🎉🥳🎊🎂🧁
Wow, I remember when you first got Bambo, running around the house in a homemade diaper!! Look how far you've come.
I have a family member who has emo eggs and they told me that the first couple off eggs would proply not be fertilized but after 1-2 years they odds get better hoping for next year!🥰
I'm sorry to be one of these people but emu*
@@Yuki_is_on_topno. Emo. You never seen the emo kids that lay eggs on Tumblr?
@@slashbat2375 no 💀

Happy belated Birthday Isaiah! I can't believe how quick time has passed & the kids are growing up, it seems like only yesterday you were doing hatching videos and then Bamboo came along. You'll work it out with the Emu's now you know they are breeding. I can imagine getting big projects done on the farm over the winter months is somewhat challenging, along with the delay we're still experiencing in supply for materials holding things up. It's your farm, we're just here for the ride 😊
Hard luck..fingers crossed for the next set of eggs... Happy birthday Isia!
Love your videos! You have the life I dream of for my wife and 2 year old!!! Would love to raise my boy on a small farm like yours.
Prayers for your dream to come true ❤
You can do it, Justin!
Awe man. I was so excited for y'all hatching more emu's. 🤞 that you'll get a hatched emu this yr.
Keep in mind it is their first year of breeding. I wouldn't expect too much for the first year. You'll probably have much better luck next year though, so keep your spirits up!
He's 4?! That means i must have been watching y'all for atleast 6 years. Thats crazy how time flies!
Another way to see movement is to put the eggs in water KZheadr ACCA or a chick called Albert did that. Hope this helps
When the boys are running and the birds Chase them it makes me laugh 🤣🤣
Don't listen to the naysayers, they are just jealous of your success and just cruel individuals. You're a great man you've raised great children and you have a loving wife, a successful farming business the loving care you gave all your animals. Thank you for sharing your highs and lows with farming and the cost and energy it takes
I love the dynamic farming! Would love to see more about that.
This is a crazy work in progress. It'll be fun to see how it goes on into the future.
Did they hatch yet? If not it ok maybe you get better luck next year
What an amazing pet they must be. I wish you all luck. I hope the next batch is good! 😁
that is the problem. Emus are no pets, and when they are, you see, what happens. Bamboo is only interested in human and not in female Emus. That is, why the eggs stay infertile...
@@Katzenlaufwunder That's a good explanation
@@Katzenlaufwunder So he should breed him with humans then😅🙂
Pepper plants are able to be overwintered if you guys are into bell peppers etc! So Sorry for the lack of emu chicks but it’s a VERY promising start!!
My grandpa use to have Emus when I was growing up, and this is so interesting. I remember hearing the "drums" at his house. And eating 1 egg omlets 😂
Happy Birthday Isiah 🍭🎂🍭🎂 Y'all are amazing with your animals. Everyone has an opinion, and you KNOW what that means!!! Keep doing what your doing!😊
I love your channel. You do an amazing job with your animals. Don't mind the negative comments, as you know there are negative critics everywhere. Keep up the great work. You guys will be blessed with baby emus really soon.
Thank you so much, Malcolm
So proud for this family, follow since the farm started. The family works so hard and full of love and fun! Support from Canada ❤
Thank you so much, Rafiki
Happy Birthday Isiah. Wow it's 4 years already since you were born. I have been along time watching you and your family. You are a blessed little boy. I will continue in my own way asking the universe to continue its blessings upon you and your family in these troubled times.
Video took 58 days to make
I have been anxiously awaiting this video. Sorry that they were all empty but thank you for sharing. Emus freak me out but I feel like I've learned a lot about them. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who opens up the unhatched eggs indoors.
😆
I have been following you guys for years and have watched each and every video. Looking at Isaiah turn 4 makes me feel a little old, haha. Your videos always give me a lot of positivity and always put a smile on my face. It feels like a family. Your filming skills are excellent, and the background music makes it 100 times better. Belated happy birthday, Isaiah.
Thank you so much for watching, Irfan
Oh my gosh! He's 4!!! I remember when he was born! That's just reminds me of how long I've been watching your channel! Wow! 🎉❤😊
Thanks!
Life is one big learning experience, and I believe that one day you will have fertilized eggs that hatch from your emus. Till then its all trial and error and learning one day at a time. Keep up the good work and sending my best wishes to your family.
He’s adorable Awh 🥹 thank you for sharing your experiences with us!!
Love your videos keep up the amazing work ❤❤ love from Ireland
Happy Birthday!! There will be fertile eggs eventually. With a simultaneous polyandrous mating system it is the female that sets up territory and attracts many males to incubate her eggs. If the females are able to lay eggs in a separate shelter for each male, an area that could be closed off from all others, there may be more success with letting the males incubate. I'd imagine that the area doesn't have to be too large because the male will not venture far. Wait, I think I am living vicariously through you guys, lol. Can you tell I've raised my far share of birds. Good luck you guys.
Happy birthday Isaiah sorry your emu eggs didn't hatch hopefully the other ones hatch though.
So sorry you didnt hatch babies. Hope yall catch some luck next time! Love your vids and learning from your channel!
I am obsessed with your channel. I patiently wait for Sundays for you to post. Wish you post more often. Lovely family and beautiful farm.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!🎉 May you have many more blessed days to come.❤
Good luck next batch and happy birthday Isaiah!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ISAIAH!! You sure are one big boy!!!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 xoxo from California
It’s a bummer about the eggs but I know you guys will figure something out. You can tell you love your birds.
4 years later and I am still here...amazing❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing, indeed!
Happy birthday Isaiah! Btw your farm is amazing!
So sorry to hear that things didn't work out. Maybe next year when they get to know each other better then things will be much better. At least the boys know how to take care of the eggs; now they just need to learn how to woo the ladies properly.
I was looking so forward to some baby emus! So sorry 😞 let's hope the next batch is good ❤
I know, bummer
I LOVE YOUR GREENHOUSE I'm a crazy plant lady 😂 but I keep them on my dresser not a lot of space
😊
What a bummer! But looking forward to seeing what comes of the eggs under Bert! Happy birthday for last week Isaiah 🥳
Bummer is showing your age a little😂🤣 I haven’t heard that in awhile. I used to say it too.🙋🏼♀️
@@jillipepper5353 trying to keep it age appropriate because I don’t know if their kids look at the comments or not 😂
😢I'm so sorry that there wasn't any Emu babie, but I'm sure that it will happen. Hang in there White House On The Hill ❤🙏❤With all the love comes from that farm,yuuup, it's gonna happen....Take care Happy 4th B🎉rthday Little man!!💙💙💙💙
These folks are nice enough to share parts of there lives with us and teach me so much so please if you have anything negative to say keep it to yourself God bless us all 😇🙏🏻
I appreciate it 🥰
I have been watching your videos for 5 months. and they are amazing. we live in South Australia.
Good luck on next eggs!!!
Happy Birthday young man 🎉. Snarky remarks don't belong being said. You're a beautiful family, and teaching your children valuable lessons about life. They will learn respect and responsibility from great parents. Too bad other children aren't taught the same ... morals and values. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. John 3:3-16
Thank you 😊
Happy birthday Isaiah! I'm really enjoying the incubator series. Peace to you all.
Thank you!
I was so excited for these emu eggs to get hatched but from the beginning I doubted about them being fertile, now hopefully their shifting will cause them to breed, hope for the best Love you nice people 💕
Happy Birthday Isaiah. 🎂 🎈 🎉You're such a special little guy. May God bless you even more. Love you all. ❤❤❤
Thanks, Nollie
Snarky people who criticise others are rarely DOers, themselves! They have nothing better to do than put others down so they can feel superior. Nuts to them! Keep doing what you are doing at your own speed, WHOTH family. The majority of us non-trolls appreciate your journey. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm sorry people are so rude! You guys are amazing and do such hard work every day! Raising children is hard enough and you do soo much more! Keep up the good work!
Thank you 😊
I've been following you guys back when you were still renting the 1 acre land. I really want to see the big aviary to be completed.❤
Y'all are awesome! Don't listen to the negative. I love you all! ❤️
Thank you 😊
Don't listen to the naysayers. People should understand sometimes things happen when you have a farm. Everything takes time and money. Sometimes we just don't have enough of either of those things. You do what you can when you can. I don't think it's a lack of space. They are very young birds and learning something new takes time for all of us in my opinion. So I pray for you and your family to have success with the new batch of eggs. Maybe the other eggs were just to soon as they are new to the breeding and egg laying business. Good luck and Happy Birthday Isah. Sorry I got the spelling wrong
Happy Birthday Isaiah, what a big boy❤
Thank you, Laura
I'd love to see a Emu hatch ! Love that bird ,and chickens too but don't know breed names ' I like the ones with fluffy heads and feet they are adorable . 💖
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this😊
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with all of us. I think it's a beautiful thing that you post the triumphs AND fai...*ahem* learning moments. I often read through a lot of the comments. I imagine it must feel amazing for you (as a family) to touch so many people in such a positive way. I'm looking forward to continued content, but... THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!! 😂😂😂
Helpful hint from an old lady, put tape around your drill bit to reduce the depth it goes into the egg....just in case.
Sad that some people don't leave nice things to say. If you don't have something nice to say. DON'T SAY ANYTHING! THEY DON'T HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS AND THEY ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN. THINGS ARE HARD ON EVERYONE AT THE MOMENT. THINGS TAKE TIME TO GET. WE BELIEVE IN 🙏 THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. XOXOXOXO ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ ❣️ 😊😊😊😊😊
Love your videos from india 🇮🇳 I had learnt more things from your videos
Happy Birthday Isiah hope you had amazing day
You are doing a great job. Ignore the ignorant ppl. Those ppl haven't been watching your family. We see you are making progress. Just keep moving forward as best you can. That's all anyone can do.
Thank you 😊
You tried! Thanks for sharing. Hope for something soon!
I'm really hoping the next batch is better. I've been quietly watching you guys for a few years now and I would love to see some babu emus!
Yall are my new favorite farm channel🥰
i love how your videos aren't cut into parts and that they are all in the same video i hate when videos are in part. and keep up what your doing it rlly interesting and cool.
I can't wait to see the whole video!
Oh and you make the best videos and I hope you get baby emus soon
Hannibal Mo is where I saw the first cotton thing floating. I just at first thought it was the cottonwood trees. But some feeds out there are purposely keeping egg production down & maybe sterlizing our bird.
It sure has been an awesome 4 years! Thank you!
Thanks 😊
I don’t really get what you mean @ May Flowers
@@qza3062 The first emu was born 4 years ago.
Happy birthday beautiful Isiah.
So sorry. I hope the next batch will have some in! Don’t loose hope.
Would love to see more on the gardening!
Wishing best of luck hope you get some emu chick's soon I remember when you hatched out your first exciting stuff
I'm so so sorry I hope Bert hatches the other eggs and happy birthday Isaiah and please watch future homesteader on KZhead
4 years old???? It’s been that long omg 😵💫 happy birthday!!
Watch Bamboo having learned breeding from watching the other boys and him being the one doing it since the girls are more farmilier with him, guess if Chasyew starts laying eggs that would be what's happened. I think it's possible since she's still laying and bert has been sitting for a while so if they're fertalized some are probably bamboo's? Hopefully some of the bert sat eggs hatch.
Interesting and cool vid. Belated Happy 4th birthday, Izeya!
