We Caught Something in the Trap! (Plus Emu Egg Update) 

I feel like the male emu is the protector and the female is the alarm. He will get up to turn the eggs and clean the nest. He may not be successful but he’s learning. Team Nuggo.

She is guarding him and the nest ❤

Perhaps since female Emus are as a rule more aggressive than males, Goldie is in guard mode and sits there in a protective position.

Exciting times at Cog Hill Farm. The best entertainment ever. 💯

I hate to see how poor Nugget will look after 60 days. I pray that his demeanor doesn't change once he becomes a father 🙏❤️

This Aussie is very pleased you're pronouncing Emu the right way. 👍

It seems Goldie and Nugget have something in common with Brooke and Jason - amazing teamwork! Such mutual support is a beautiful thing. I remember Nugget was so active during his younger years, running and doing little hops - it was adorable. I doubt I would be able to accomplish anything if I was around such precious behavior, I would be fascinated just trying to carch every second possible. And you will probably/ hopefully have at least 8 baby emus at one time! WOW! That will be so entertaining and adorable. At Little Cog it was fairly easy to observe Nugget and his youthful antics. This group will have a large area to enjoy and explore. I know MaryCarl will enjoy this experience. I am anxious to enjoy it virtually!

Happy Easter! Hope y’all have a wonderful day!❤❤❤

Aw, she's got nuggets back while he's sitting. We love a team effort.

Great video! Rats in the trap, Nugget on the nest, Protectors on duty, Alarms on alert....sunny, peaceful day.👏🌷

Emu’s seemingly hum to their eggs and the viable eggs react. So amazing to see an unborn chick react to sound 😊

Gonna have babies everywhere!!!!

Holy Alarm System, Batman! You're gonna have a gazillion goslings! Woot! ;)😂

Happy and Blessed Resurrection Day❣️♥️

You may want to get in touch with Lester and Jamie with I’m a Survivor. They went through a very similar case a few years back with their male ostrich. He wouldn’t eat or drink while sitting on the eggs. He lost so much weight they were very concerned about him possibly passing. All turned out great with new babies. Greetings from Southeastern Kentucky.

I can't wait to see how many of the eggs become little emus for ya'll. It's gonna be a beautiful flock of emus.

I betcha Goldie is guarding the nest!

Thank you for this egg- citing update, perfectly timed. New lives are a blessing.

Praying for a Blessed and Glorious Day for ALL ! 🕊 Jesus Christ has Risen, Indeed !👑 Blessings, Grace and Peace to ALL who are called. 🛐💓💖 Thank you, Ms. Brooke for sharing the glory and wonder of this Resurrection Spring Day with us.

Instinct in action! How amazing and wonderful. Babies coming soon!

Lester's Carl sat I think 70 days and they were fixing to pull the eggs because he had lost so much body mass and they were scared, but bingo next day a baby hatched, then the next one and then the 3rd one. Nature knows what is best, we humans just need to stay out of the way. Bless everyone has a Happy Easter ❤

Oh my, a bigamous goose! 😂😂😅. How very cute that the ladies are sitting together; obviously they get along. I can’t wait to see goslings ❤❤❤

Keep the rat trapping going. They will multiply like crazy. Nugget and Goldie are AMAZING.

Happy and Blessed Easter Sunday to y'all on Cog Hill Farms! Everything I read.......you don't feed or water the male during those 60 days. It's normal for them NOT to digest anything!

Certainly hope that a beautiful feathered baby will emerge from the HUGE nest in the fields and in the bird sanctuary ...soon! Happy Easter to ALL! ❤

Happy Easter Cog Hill family. I am so happy for you guys that you might have baby emus. And even more geese babies. Its so fun to have new life on your farm. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Easter! I love that Goldie is offering her encouragement and support with guard duty while her man incubates the eggs. Teamwork! 💜🐾

You guys are awesome thank you

Happy Easter, Brooke! He is Risen! 🙏💖🙏 It does look like Nugget is on the road to fatherhood. I am praying for him and his clutch. 🙏💖🙏

I wish you all the most wonderful, God Blessed Easter!🕊🎚😎😍😉

Happy Ressurection Day! Blessings to you three! Emu might be turning the eggs.

As you mentioned, Google says in bold letters, the male Won't Drink or Eat, the entire duration, (so, no need to worry) :) The Rat indication was quite a surprise!

🥰🐣Happy Easter!!! 🪺🐰🐸❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Mother nature is amazing, Nuggets got this 😂❤❤❤❤❤

Hopefully Miss Goldie is sending good vibes and positive thoughts to Mr. Nugget!!!

I'm sure Goldie is being a sentry! She would have a good view of anything approaching the nest! Nature is amazing! Good catch with the mice!

❤watching the video ❤ My your family have a Blessed Day Brooke❤️😀

I am marking my calendar and waiting impatiently.❤❤

Counting the days! I'm so excited for Goldie & Nugget! I hope you've had a wonderful weekend 😊

Wishing you and your lovely family a blessed and Happy Easter!

I think that she's watching to protect nugget and the nest.

She did all the work of laying those eggs, she's not taking a chance on letting him mess things up now. 😅

Brooke, Glad you caught 2 Rats, but if you caught 2, there will be more. Your cats are slacking off, lol

When you see Nugget standing up & moving "things" around, he may be TURNING the eggs, which needs to be done periodically. He MIGHT be trying to cover them with leaves, etc., but, my guess is he's turning them. Just a little FYI. Wonderful to see that he's taking on the Daddy "role", and hope for a successful hatching, in May. Happy Easter to all of your family...........

Hi Brooke, Nugget gets up to turn the eggs. 👍💕🥰😁. 👵🏻

I bet it was a rat. Templeton the Rat was able to carry an egg in his mouth...lol! Hope they lay again soon. Fingers crossed for baby emus too. Have a blessed Easter Holiday. He is Risen!

You look stunning, Brooke! God bless & Happy Easter ❤❤❤

Brooke, rat snakes (AKA chicken snakes) typically go one or two weeks between feedings. Also, Nugget has to roll the eggs two or three times a day. That's probably what he was doing when you filmed him.

Happy Easter and Resurrection day. I love you kids.

I suggest that you may put out some hay or straw near the nest just in case Nugget wants to add more than blow away leaves to his next.

😂😂😂typical woman. Nuggo... I gave u one job❤❤ But she's still watching his every move. 😂😂

I celebrated our risen savior at church today. Hope yall did too! Happy Easter. Jesus is reason for season!❤

Nugget is probably turning the eggs! I’m marking my calendar! Can’t wait! I love to see baby emus run! Hope y’all had a blessed Easter. ❤

My grandma always said if you interfere in any way the mother may abandon the nest or the young. I'd say leave Nugget be,as you said early on " Nature will tell him what to do "

Happy Easter to you all.

Happy Easter ❤️🐰🐥

Happy Easter Everyone. Have a beautiful day.

Simply fastinating. So glad you are sharing this adventure, thanks. Maybe put one of the rats in the trap with the eggs and see if a snake is interested.

Glad you got a couple of rats . Nugget seems to know what he's doing ! Your going to have babies everywhere !

Hope youre having a blessed day on Cog Hill Farm! 🙏🪻💜✝️

Brooke thanks so much for all the updates just love keeping up with all the happenings on Cog Hill Farm

Hello to my Cog Hill family❤❤❤

Nugget babies are due on my daughter's birthday, and she is counting them days. She loves Nugget.

Nugget and Goldie are fascinating to watch.

Can’t wait to see Nugget’s & Goldie’s babies ❤

Happy Easter!🐣 Cogg squad.🐇

Happy Easter to all our Cog Hill group and family. Stay safe and be blessed!

Way to go Nugget .Glad you found at least 2 rats so far Brooke!

Happy Easter to the whole Cog Hill Farm & viewers ❤❤❤ God bless

I love how much you three love your animals.

You should put a trail cam up nearby Nugget so you can watch from a distance to see what he is doing with the eggs.

I think GOLDIE is watching for predators while NUGGET sits. ❤

I used to walk by a place that had a lot of emu their property. They would lay their eggs near the fence. People walking by would feed them. The most eggs I saw were four.

Happy Easter Jason, Brooke, and Marycarl. Have a wonderful day to you all. You all have a whole lot of egg sitting going on. Love it.🥚🥚❤

Good morning ❤

Baby goats are coming first. can't wait ❣️

HAPPY EASTER TOO EVERYONE WHOM FOLLOWS THIS PRECIOUS ONE OF A KIND COG HILL 40 FARM FAMILY AND OF COURSE HAPPY EASTER JASON, BROOKE AND MARYCARL. AND HOPING THAT THERE WILL BE SOME LITTLE NUGGETS N GOLDEYS.

Glad you caught a couple rats where the Victoria Crown pidgeons are. Glad you're leaving the trap set as there probably are more. And if there's a snake, hope it finally goes after the eggs in the "snake trap". I'm still in awe over Nugget sitting on the eggs. Just goes to show you how strong animal instincts are! He knew exactly what his job was once Goldie finished laying eggs. You all have a very blessed Easter!✝️

Easter Blessings Brooke, Jason Mary Carl and family ✝️. That's 2 less rats than before. Hope you do catch the predator who took that precious egg. 🌷🌼🌹🌸💮🏵️🌻🌷

So excited. ❤😊 Thank you for sharing. Blessings.

Happy Easter to Brooke and Jason and MaryCarl

Happy Easter! He is risen

❤Happy Cog Hill Easter! I'm thinking, maybe Goldie is protecting their territory! Love it!❤

Happy Easter to all on Cog Hill Farm.

That goose photo bombing when you were watching nugget 😜

What a great catch up on the animals with you Brooke 🌻🌻🌻 17.......🤯

I TOLD JASON IT WOULD BE HIS LUCK IF THEY ALL HATCHED AND HE SAID DONT SAY THAT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Happy Easter Beautiful Cog Hill family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The goose is photo bombing the video at the 9 minute mark. It is awesome to see Nugget on the nest.

Just a thought, many people feed eggs to their chickens to help make the shells stronger. As a suggestion, take a chicken egg and toss it(break it)to either your chickens or the pigeons and watch what happens - when I have seen it on video, the eggs are totally eaten, shell and all.

Happy Easter, to you all. God Bless.

You all are blessed

Beautiful blessings! Nugget is a awesome daddy!I could watch them all day.

It will be awhile before that snake comes back,he's full right now..❤❤

Fantastic job Nugget and Goldie. Hope the Nug hatches some lil ones🤞🥚

Happy Easter, Jesus has Risen!!! I hope Nugget can carry on and keep up with his daddy duties as well as keep the farm covered as the sheriff!

I'm just envisioning y'all trying to corral 17 little Nug nuts as they zoom, squiggle and jump around. 😂😂😂

Are those field mice instead of rats? Glad you caught them whatever they are.

Happy Easter, Y’all !🐰🐰🐰

Glad you caught 2 rats at least! I’m excited for the possibility of baby emus🥰Happy Easter, you guys all have a great day!🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
