At Werribee Zoo they have emus roaming fairly freely across some open spaces, some of which are close to people, while others are viewed from an elevated area well above the space the emus occupy. In one of those isolated areas, there are baby emus at the moment. Baby emus do not have the shaggy grey look of the adults - they are quite distinctly striped.
I decided to attach the 1.4x teleconverter to the 100-400mm f/4.5.
This was shot in bright sunlight, with the lens at 560mm (400mm x 1.4), f/6.3 (due to the TC), at ISO 250 on the A7R6, 1/1000.
To give you an idea of the distance, this is the full frame (scaled to 2048 wide for this site)
But this is the interesting part: cropped 3522 x 2514 from the full frame, then scaled to 2048 wide for this site):
We can see one stripy chick next to the adult, and I think I can see traces of two more in the grass just above and to the left of the visible chick.
The 1.4x works well on the 100-400/4.5, but it may be time to haul the heavy 400-800 out there to get closer shots
