    My Chick Webcam

    Quote: Panasonic BL-C131A Wireless Network Camera. After having a wired USB camera set up in another location and multiple problems with various webserver apps, I decided to go with a wireless cam with it's own built-in webserver. The Panasonic cam has been the easiest and most reliable by far.

    My Chick Webcam

    I have 12 chicks in the brooder that are 3.5 weeks old. 3 Buff Orps, 3 Black Australorps, 3 Barred Rocks, 2 NH Reds and 1 might be NH Red or Buff . Check them out on their live webcam HERE . Internet Explorer users will have to install Active X when prompted .
