So i bought a half dozen Ostrich a month ago. 1 yr olds. they are in a high fence 350 acres. South Louisiana. Has anyone raised them? Will they breed on their own successfully? I can put them in a seperate 10 acre pen if they are a pain. so far so good. any tips? We are not planning on shooting them unless they breed like crazy which i don't think will happen here in south Louisiana where it rains a decent amount... thx!

Give it a try. As far as them raising their own chicks, I'd leave them alone as much as possible. If they don't lay in clutches they won't sit on the eggs. They breed in pairs with only the dominant pair breeding unless they have a lot of room. How much room, I don't know.Last edited by Walker; 12-26-2020, 03:21 PM.

thx for info. Well lets jut say i have worked hard enough where i can make a mistake and buy some birds and if it doesn't work out its no big deal... We jut eat them if it doesn't work out! They are in 350 acre HF with 100 other exotics. i was curious if anyone actually owned them and had them successfully breed in the woods with no help... thats all. they are friendly so far... and if not they will meet my friend four five... lol
