Adult Ostriches
At Bee Ostrich Farm, we love our flightless adult ostriches who roam about in their 5 acre enclosure. They graze on grass and clover, and get much needed protein and calcium from their daily corn meal feed.

At Bee Ostrich Farm, we love our flightless adult ostriches who roam about in their 5 acre enclosure. They graze on grass and clover, and get much needed protein and calcium from their daily corn meal feed. Our large male, Bully, flirts with his harem of seven female ostriches by dancing with bent knee and swinging of his head side to side. Interestingly, the dominant male ostrich and major female will take turns guarding the communal nest.
Ostrich Chicks

Adult Ostriches
Baby ostriches are called "chicks" and they have a much lighter plumage of spikey beige feathers which cover their body, and a distinctive black stripe with brown speckles down their neck. The chicks are about 50 times heavier than a baby chicken, and they grow very quickly. They reach adult size in about a year by growing 30 cm each month.
Hatchlings

Hatchlings
Ostrich chicks are born from the largest eggs in the world. One of the difficulties of hatching these beauties is the porous nature of the egg makes it easy for bacteria to be introduced into the egg and affect the fetus, which is why here on the farm we hatch all of our chicks with a incubator with controlled humidity and temperature settings.
