    does anyone run or own an ostrich farm

    Would it make sense to buy ostriches and sell the meat to consumers and the feathers for pillows or would it be better if I kept them alive and just sold the eggs to be fried for breakfast

      Eggs are renewable so I think that would be the best route.

              One of my best friend's parents raise Ostrich. They are mean fuckers that is for sure. They pretty much just sell the eggs and feathers and stuff and they also sell birds to other farmers, but there is a pretty big market for the meat. I've had it a few times, it is pretty good.

                Yes people eat it, though it typically is Emu and not ostriches. They do look alike.
                I would bypass both if I had the space and just hop on the buffalo production.

                    ok for real when I lived over in South Africa we did eat ostrich meat which was dried and called ostrich biltong its similar to jerky but a lot drier and spicer. There were a lot of ostrich farms over there and they did use thier meat, eggs and feathers. And it is true they are mean fuckers. They were also used for racing by some of the dumb Afrikaners

                                Farming is not traditionally considered to be a business that is very scaleable, or that has good margins.

                                    That is very true. My friend's parents have a decent amount of birds and it is basically just a second income for them, they couldn't live off the birds alone without doing a huge expansion.

                                        My cousin used to run an ostrich farm way back in the Middle Ages, but there were no ostriches. Acres and acres devoted to ostrich farming, and no ostriches. Waste of space really.

                                                  I enjoyed Ostrich the times that I have had it. It was a bit beefy and very low fat.
