Well-nourished emu hens begin laying at approximately 2 years of age and are reported to have a productive life of approximately 16 years. Egg production is variable but can exceed 50 eggs per year. After 2 years of age, the average egg production is 25 to 30 eggs per year.

Emu generally lay between 20 and 30 eggs per season, which occurs during our winter. Adult Emu are known to produce offspring well past the age of 35 years old. Occasionally, a hen will produced 40 to 50 eggs in a year. Breeding normally begins in the fall with egg production begining in October and continueing into May or June. A typical hen will lay an egg every 3 to 5 days for about 3 months. Emu eggs are naturally an avocado green color with the texture varying from hen to hen. Emu eggs are the longest incubating eggs at 50 days. The female lays the egg, but it's the male that sits on the egg until it hatches. He also cares for the chicks for their first 18 months of life in the wild.
