Baby emu surprises chicken breeder
Last Updated: Friday, 06 June 2008, 06:15 GMT

An emu egg bought by a chicken breeder on holiday caught her by surprise when it hatched into a chick.
Gillian Stone, 47, from Bexhill, East Sussex, purchased three large green emu eggs which were being sold at £10 each as luxury food items at a farm on the Isle of Wight.

Ooooh, now that's just given me a thought ...

O.H. - duck eggs for tea - oh, goodness me!  look at that!  it hatched all by itself! - well, we'll just HAVE to keep it now, won't we, love?

What'ya think Fifi?

It's the only way you can get the "men" to see sense

and don't they all come round eventually,


once you make them think it was their idea to begin with

Excuse me, but I live here, and I can't think of anywhere on the Island that has Emus, Alpacas yes, we have a farm of them in the West Wight (Foreign lands), but Emus, no.  Even the Zoo doesn't have them.  I am prepared to stand corrected.

Maybe she had the same idea I did - and it was the only way she could get her OH to let her keep an emu ...
