Let's Try Something Fun With The Emu Egg!

[@marinbandel2574]

Good morning Brooke. If your family would not enjoy the emu eggs could you collect them and add them to the dog's food or the pigs?? That way they would not be going to waste??? Hugs from N.C..❤

[@peikathryn]

That would be a good idea.. that way and I agree, it would be better than letting them go to waste.

[@lisaevansthefam2425]

She wouldn’t even need to cook them. Raw eggs are actually healthy for dogs or pigs.

[@CTR6067]

I was just thinking the same. Gus and Loretta would love eggs!

[@robinhumble4152]

Actually, my vet said she didn’t want me to give my dog raw eggs when I told her I added a raw egg to his food. She asked me to cook it first which surprised me, so he got scrambled egg on top of his food every day.

[@19Lou77]

North Carolina ❤here too!

[@keeshabrooks1]

Brooke I love how Nugget follows you and looks you in the eyes. He loves you so much 💞💞

[@oceanhome039]

1 egg and a great pound cake which usually takes 6-8 eggs! 💕🇨🇦

[@julie7292]

Yes... use it in baking

[@JulesGrooveTube]

I love Nugget! I love how he comes right over to you and Jason whenever you're in his area. He's so curious about everything! Where you're going, what you're doing, what you're wearing, everything! 😄 It was funny watching his head pop in and out of the shot as you were talking. He was emu photo bombing you! 😂 He is such a character! 💗 Have a great week!

[@robinsiciliano8923]

That was interesting! That really could feed a lot of people. Something to consider.

[@easax3361]

Good morning. A fun little eggsperiment you had there. As for the pond clean up, could you not confine Nugget and Goldie to the pasture near the barn for a limited time and allow the goats some limited time (perhaps even supervised) access to that area allowing them to feast on any young trees that might want to pop up as needed.

[@19Lou77]

Great eggs-periment !!😂❤❤❤ Hope the Cog Squad is doing GREAT today!

[@19Lou77]

Eggs-cellent idea for a large family or possibly donating the emu eggs 🥚 to the local homeless shelters!! ❤❤❤

[@desirayniven]

Could the goats help with all that mess on the damn? You have portable electric fence if needed no? Just a thought.

[@debbiewhite3601]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@autisticme8348]

Brooke had said that she wanted to get the pine tree out of there with roots. The roots grow straight down . Sounds like she may wish for a way to mess the roots up.

[@dorcaswatson4873]

I Was thinking that the goats could help as well. ❤

[@suzettefaircloth5037]

That's very ingenious, I would not have thought of doing that.

[@januk7725]

Nuggo was taking in every word you said Brooke lol he was making me laugh, he is so inquisitive, one of favorites along with Mooman and Mootilda and the gorgeous Pookie

[@izzy1949]

Good morning Brooke… chilly here in UK…an egg is an egg and food is food xx

[@SharonLKirby]

Really good video. Entertaining and educational.

[@sandymanning8744]

Thank you for such an informative video.❤❤❤❤❤

[@jackiesaylor2487]

My cousin had Emus and gave me an egg one time. She told me the emu eggs were stronger than chicken eggs and it is best to make it into an omelet or something. So I fried up some ground sausage, onions green peppers and tomatoes and scrambled the emu egg up with som milk salt pepper and creole seasoning and made 8 to12 breakfast burritos. (I can't remember how many, but it fed my family of 6 with leftovers.) This would be great to sell to breakfast restaurants.

[@jennyclark2950]

When I was young and lived on a turkey farm , I had never had a chicken egg . We always ate turkey eggs . If I had Emu I would be eating those Emu eggs !

[@brendawitherspoon5598]

Loved Jason’s first reaction when you told him Emu egg 😂

[@gailstark1688]

Wow the Emu egg has a lot inside. Love the taste testing on this.

[@lesliemorse5459]

Brooke, that was a very interesting and informative video. Not that I have emu's but I loved this video. Sometimes I think we just used to certain tastes. Thanks for trying the egg Brooke and Jason.❤😊

[@maurinedoyle9964]

Goats for the growth around the dam ❤

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

You and Catherine learned a of of good information on that trip. And that was one big egg! It could feed a family! 💖💖💖

[@pamelariley8983]

What about a controlled burn to get rid of the growth on the bank, Brooke?

[@sallysullivan4463]

...do not forget the roots of the pine trees are the real problem...

[@richardmain8059]

Good morning Brooke, thank you and Nugget for sharing the warmth of Smiles, your viewers up North will take all the Warmth you can send our way. Nugget is a very Special Individual he doesn’t say much but the Love he dishes out is endless, always ready for some interaction and sharing. So inquiring minds wanted to know and you have literally stepped up to the plate for us, imagine how fluffy they would make a cake. 😀👍👍👍

[@sallysullivan4463]

This video surprised me, Ms. Brooke. I truly appreciate your "practical nature". My Mother's Mother was a back yard gardener; one of her sayings was "Waste not, want not!" What you just taught us takes strength from her saying ! You have impressed my life with all the videos that you and Jason produce thru Cog Hill Family Farm. I see you all living your lives in /on your little "piece of Eden." Blessings, Graces and Peace to you and yours.

[@kathleenlucht1921]

I’m pppppppppppppp😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@CelticLady01]

You can drill a small hole at one end and another, a bit larger, and blow out the white and yolk. Rinse the eggshell out and let it dry. You can then decorate the eggshell or use it to make an egg-shaped candle.

[@deborahludlow6483]

I was going to comment the same as you did about keeping eggs. I thought just keeping them. Love their color.

[@marktitus8516]

Don't forget to add those eggs shells to compost pile. Great added calcium. Prefect eggs for souffle or family sized ommoulets

[@suzannehalesuzzz4895]

Emu eggs perfect for your favorite dessert creme brulee. yummy. Loves

[@dhines3804]

Oh Brooke- this was so interesting to watch! I’m just fascinated by the emu eggs: size, color, shell etc!

[@karenallen9868]

What a great idea! I would eat them. If you could gather as soon as you knew she laid to ensure freshness, I’m sure there would be other families who could use them to feed their families. Can you imagine using one for a pound cake? 😮

[@RaeannAmbler-jy1ey]

Jason’s face when he walked in. 😂That made a lot. ❤️🙏

[@trudiharmon7640]

Hi Brooke. Thanks for sharing your time with us all and updates on the farm. Remember Lester saying the ostrich eggs were pretty tasteless compared to chicken eggs maybe emu being smaller taste better to an ostrich. Glad Jason is feeling a bit better. I watched the video of C and G farms and your visit it was so interesting what she had to say about the process. Least you now know. No more sitting for Nugget. Have a wonderful day take care and God bless 💕🙏

[@sharononeill449]

So glad you found that information out for nugget and Goldie 💜🙏🏻

[@lomagibson664]

Wow! I was wondering that. Great video ❤ love you all so much! Continued prayers and God bless ❤❤

[@lindatucker6485]

It is so cool to see MaryCarl’s pigeons flying in your videos.

[@barbarawoodhouse5514]

Thank you. You are a fabulous teacher. ❤

[@telyeash4155]

Good comparison video I would try the emu egg I bet it would make a great cake proud of Jason to step out of his comfort zone

[@brandymaynor5485]

Glad your honey is feeling better

[@DizzyIzzyMom]

Omg…I just loved your info. Who new

[@just_ducky_acres7561]

you can also use the eggshell, dried, crushed and add to your garden.

[@galady8632]

@just_ducky_acres7561. ... A Pharmacist friend of mine advised she ran egg shells through a small food chopper (the type used to chop nuts and such), to make calcium for her family. Sometimes she portions it into capsules (for travel - after TSA thought her RX bottle of white powder was an illegal substance), but mostly she adds it to smoothies, soups, etc. It's a fine powder and has zero taste. As thick as emu eggs are it would be enough for a her family of 8 for many months

[@leannekenyoung]

That was AWESOME!!! I loved the taste test! I remember when a very very long time ago you did a similar taste test with chicken, duck and I don’t recall was it a turkey egg? I think the duck egg had the 😮richest flavour. God bless. 🥰❤️🍁🇨🇦🙏🏻

[@carolutley6523]

😂Nugget is listening carefully 😂

[@patriciabonitz5758]

That is very interesting. If a person was starving the Emu egg would be a gold mine. Nugget and Goldy make a great pair anyway. ❤

[@connieclark4040]

Time to freeze dry emu eggs

[@catherinesalber6442]

Goats on the hill? 🐐🐐🐐 And chicken eggs in my tummy. 🐓🐓🐓

[@katrienvh4289]

goats love Christmas trees so good idea!

[@fayebailey9358]

Thanks Brooke for sharing this information. Always learning more and more about EMUs from you. ❤😊

[@sharonm3677]

My goodness what a difference in size and amount between the Emu and chicken egg. Brooke have you thought about drilling one of the Emu eggs and emptying its contents and preserving the shell as an ornament on a stand for yourselves. Goldie must also be very healthy as she’s laying eggs and they are so beautiful. Thanks for educating us and demonstrating the difference between eggs and doing a taste test and reviewing it. You two are so brave! Lol❤️❤️

[@dianamarquis4608]

Good morning! The experiment with the eggs was absolutely interesting! Wonder what the emu egg would do in baked goods??? ❤

[@lynettestephens5152]

WOW!!! That was amazing! 😮😮

[@DebbieSimmons-s3y]

So interesting Brooke. With the price of eggs right now that could feed a lot of people. Thank you

[@JJ.LovesAnimals]

A large amount of protein... Dehydrate them Brooke...I buy powdered eggs (for my emergency food pantry) 😊 The cooked Emu egg scrambled looks like when I put a tsp of half & half in my scramblers.. fluffy Have fun figuring out how and where you can use them.. 🩷🙏🏼👩🏼‍🦳🐈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺

[@rhondaborders3452]

I would put them on the farm stand. I bet that people would be curious. Also, freeze dry them & add to recipes.

[@TerryDavison-f1k]

Good morning Brooke Jason and Mary Carl thank you for having me along God bless y'all love y'all

[@carolmiland9665]

Love you all ❤

[@judithgillis267]

That was interesting to say the least. Thanks for sharing that information on emu eggs.

[@truejoy3779]

Always fun learning with you!

[@baldhead7705]

Wow I can't believe how much the pond has dried up

[@angiebryant]

I just absolutely love love nugget.❤❤

[@jeffrylindquist7616]

FIRE 🔥

[@kellyfoster8903]

With how Nugget moves up close around Brooke, the motion reminds me of the movie, " My Stepmother is an Alien " with Dan Ackroid.😂❤❤❤

[@DanniceLatham]

Liked all the comments about letting the goats on the dam bank. Of course not if there was stuff on there not good for them! Wow on the emu egg!! Ya’ll were brave trying it. Good ideas from your Cog Squad about giving it to your animals if you didn’t want to eat them. Looks good to me! 😋

[@ramonagerber317]

Keep your emu eggs and cook them up for the pigs !

[@lindabarrows8951]

[@anexdcseal5263]

He is looking at you like he understands what you are saying I love nugget .

[@patience1226]

That was interesting. Great video!

[@sandeepettit696]

What a gem Nugget is❤. God bless y'all ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@godsgreenacreshomestead708]

Very interesting Brooke! Maybe add some salt and pepper to emu eggs so they're not so bland, but great experiment. Texas Deb ❤️

[@lbar4759]

If I have left over eggs I feed them back to chickens they love scrambled eggs and the extra protein makes their feathers shine

[@kodabear3304]

The emu egg is probably good for baking giving baked goods a lighter texture, kind of the way duck eggs do.

[@TammeGregory]

What about freeze drying them and using them when baking.

[@annasnyder2756]

Scramble them up and give them to your dogs. Your dogs will love the eggs.

[@carmenortiz4446]

Interesting. 😊

[@donnac8052]

I wonder how a freeze dried scrambled egg would be and then used for baking.

[@kathiesanders1533]

I truly enjoy this video and seeing the taste test. Thank for sharing this

[@petgranny194]

Great video, Brooke. Hope the dogs enjoyed their breakfast!

[@SummerSun2468]

Thank you Brooke, that was very interesting. I so enjoyed that, yall are brave too try it!! Sound like yall are warming up like we are. Enjoy the rest of yalls day❤❤❤

[@ja_Iam]

Great video Brooke !!! lol, that would feed a family for sure. Very fascinating to watch this process.

[@just_ducky_acres7561]

you can scramble them up, add some herbs, and feed to the chickens; great source of vitamins.

[@kathycrook1913]

Good morning, Brooke!

[@mags9536]

Morning Brooke. I wait every day for the cog hill video. Your weather looks lovely. It's freezing in Central Scotland ❄️

[@mrsbailey]

Brooke you need to make a 10 egg pound cake!! I'm gonna email you the recipe and you can make it in a video!! I'm so invested in the results.

[@Barngirl_26]

LOL, Instead of ten eggs she could use ONE emu egg!!

[@dragonflygrandma]

Can you imagine having them as deviled eggs. lol😃

[@jacqueline-fc8wb]

And seasoned just too, mmm 😊

[@ccurry1760]

An interesting taste test. I would take the opportunity if it were presented. If Brooke needs other diners to help her keep up with the emu egg production, maybe the dogs would like a treat (raw or cooked?).

[@susanlewis9351]

Good for their fur

[@katepeck2384]

Put a little more butter in the emu egg and a little salt and then see what happens to the taste.

[@LorraineDennison1960]

You could sell them on the farm stand when you don't have many eggs. Someone will buy them to eat. lol 😂😂🥚

[@hvnschoir4309]

Hey Brooke since its not a bad option, what about freeze drying it to use in recipes so that your chicken eggs can be used for breakfast. Nothing wasted.

[@LillianSherrill]

I would definitely try emu eggs if given the opportunity! I absolutely love duck eggs! My favorite way to eat duck eggs is boiled, deviled or boiled then dill pickled and adding duck eggs to recipes or Asian foods like ramen or noodle soups! 😋 Let us know if Mary Carl tried some, I know in the past she has been game to trying different types of eggs. She is such a great young lady now! Hard to believe I've been watching her grow up for about seven years now! ❤ Y'all are doing the right thing for Nugget and Goldie. So good to see Jason making a recovery. Take care.

[@patmiles7962]

VERY VERY INTERESTING!! A great video Brooke!! Love how you take your time explaining, very educational. Thank you. Could you cook these eggs and feed them to the animals????

[@peggyransom8]

Good Morning Brooke I hope you have a great day 🫏🫏🐱🐓🐣🦃🦆🐖🐖🐖🐴

[@rongray4847]

Good morning Brooke, looks like a beautiful day in Alabama. That was interesting thoughts on the Emu. 🇨🇦

[@cynthiamills7192]

Nugget is so cute emu ❤❤❤😊

[@brandymaynor5485]

We add wilk to our egg it really fluffs them up.try it youll love it

[@blessedtexan9601]

Small trees can be pulled like pulling t-posts.

[@gafairbanks2434]

Best way, IMO. Less disturbance of hillside soil. No burn, ashes will make waters makeup different. Weed wack other stuff. You can always plant a few huge clumps of CONTAINED BAMBOO. ( NON SPREADING ) Andrew's Nursery will have some this year again. Mine is beautiful, been there for 20 years. ( 1 clump with a 12 foot span in width.)

[@autisticme8348]

​@gafairbanks2434, you might should put this info as a main comment and not a more hidden reply. That way Brooke and others will have a better chance to see ❤❤❤

[@urre9891]

drill a small hole in the emuegg and empty it out and sell them in the farmstand as ornaments

[@angelraburn4401]

Nuggos hair is looking awesome !! Wow. This was a great learning experience. Maybe the emu eggs for your family would be great in a recipe rather than on its own. I’ve seen eggs be great foods for the other animals on the farm - that’s always a possibility for you and those eggs 😍 they are so pretty. I just know there is someone in your community that would love to craft the shells for you. I know I would love to have one. You are one amazing woman Brooke. Love to watch you and the farm. Y’all be good ❤

[@suzettefaircloth5037]

If you need to dispose of the emu eggs, you can feed them to the dogs, cats and chickens. Love to your family from Pineville, North Carolina and a wanna be homesteader.

[@darenek]

I think you could sell the Emu eggs on your farm stand; 2 for the price of one dozen chicken eggs. Happy February!

[@margesteinmetz863]

Nice you finally got Emu egg answers 👍 omelette with chopped peppers & onions and cheese . Bacon and toast on the side.😋. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Blessings 🙏🫶❤️🫶🙏

[@conniebucy2423]

Interesting video!!

[@Angela410R]

BROOKE, Sometimes aftertimes a really good rain, you can glove up and pull them up. This is what I do, and it works great! Try it and how it works for you. I do believe this will be a great solution for you.

[@kathyhoot7277]

I do this with my Rose of Sharon! They grow EVERYWHERE!

[@teresaedwards6101]

Emu egg would be good for breakfast casserole

[@sharondoner439]

Good morning Brooke I'm glad that you found out why the emu eggs weren't hatching I feel bad for Miss Catherine who wanted some emus but now she knows where she can go and get some and have a better chance of a great outcome that emu egg sure was big made a lot of eggs I enjoyed the video catch you on the next one y'all be good❤❤

[@Gail-j6k]

Good morning Brooke and all. ❤😊

[@rhodarapp3795]

I think if I remember correctly that Daniel from Arms Family Farm and his son Houston tried an emu egg. They also ate a goose and duck…I think.
