Emu chicks need a lot of attention until they're around six weeks old. Free choice feed should be available at all times (for all emus).

Cleaning Emu Chick Facilities

Everything from rice hulls to woodchips has been tried in barns for raising emu chicks on. Most with minimal success. The best, fastest, easiest to clean item, is carpeted rubber-backed mats. The chicks will not slip on them and they can be easily and quickly changed. The soiled mats can be hung and power washed for the next day.
