The facilities required to establish a small Emu farm or ranch are minimal. Emus can be successfully raised in small pens or large pasture or a combination of the two. Fencing can be chain link 2 inch by 4 inch wire. The recommended height in 5 to 6 feet for adult bird, for small birds, 3 feet height chain link (2 inch by 2 inch wire) is preferred.
