I am curious about this thread because I have a friend whose father had a small ostrich farm. One newspaper columnist made a hype on the ostrich so some investors bought ostrich for breeding. There were many ostrich farm in the province of Nueva Ecija. They said that raising ostrich is easier than chicken. The ostrich needs a corral or an enclosure so it has freedom of movement. As long as there is food and greenery in the corral the ostrich is good. When the ostrich laid eggs and the small ostrich grew that can be slaughtered for meat that was the time that ostrich raisers discovered the sad fact - no one is interested in buying ostrich meat. That was in the year 2001 and now I have not heard of an ostrich farm anymore. I guess all those investors in ostrich raising did not earn money.
