Next one down in size is the Rhea. The Emu and the Ostrich must be cousins on the genetic tree, but how the Rhea ended up with a butter colored egg and the Emu has a green egg is beyond me. Look them up and compare them side to side. They are almost the same bird. Found this one down in Elisabeth, Colorado. Gentleman was trying raise Rhea's for meat. Tastes like turkey but a drumstick the size of a large mans upper arm. Don't think it went too well, but the family got a trip to a farm and I got an egg.
