Rrheas - grey and white - beautiful grey and white rhea chicks, home reared, hand tame , ready to go to good homes.

Beautiful graceful birds to enhance your grounds or maybe the future farming as their meat is red, likened to fillet steak but low cholesterol and low fat. Many restaurants are turning to ostrich and emu meat and we have had many enquiries as to the availabilty of our rheas for meat. Ostrich and Emus carry a wild aminals license but Rheas do not. We haven't gone there yet but if meat is your bag then it is worth exploring. Certainly a suitable thought for smallholders as they are hardy and very economical to keep, They cope well with our weather and do not use a shelter. Should you wish to explore the possibilities futher please do not hesitate to call us on 01458 860186, we are happy to discuss and promote this breed. If you are iunterested in the meat market, dont forget the feathers are valuable as are the skins and apparently the oil from the fat commands a very high price. Look it up , do some research!
