Not a chance. There's a field full of Emus down the road.
Them's Oviraptors.
Yeah, yer right... !
I called the emu farmer who sold me the eggs. He apologized profusely, and said he'd be by in a couple of days to exchange these little guys for some proper emu eggs at the same stage of incubation. So, no worries. In the meantime he said they shouldn't be too hard to take care of. They're not velociraptors, these are much more innocuous. Apparently they eat plants, mollusks, and small vertebrates?
I mentioned that the neighbor has 3 small chihuahuas running around in the yard. "Better keep your guys inside, then."
Here's some pictures of what they might grow up into

I really hope I can get a tour of this guy's farm at some point. He was kind of vague about the location though. Evasive, even.
