newly hatched emu best protocol?

[lost-duckling]

so my male emu herald who has been sitting on 5 eggs for apparently much longer than I had thought just hatched two baby emus and i was wondering what the best protocol is?

I.E. do i take the babies away or will this cause relationship problems between me and herald. should i take the remaining 3 eggs and put them in a hatcher?

Also what is the best food to give them?

any other first hatch or generic advice would be welcome also.

Thank You.

I think okay, one seems a little slower than the other and i believe him to be hiding under the dad at current.

One died but the other is fine. In the future years I will just take them to a safe brooder, since pops doesn't seem that good at keeping track of them.
