    Anyone able to help identify?

    Sorry for the delay in posted pictures. I wanted to try and post them individually so there was a post # to label the pics with but I wasn't able to see the tiny pictures on my phone. So I had to switch to my computer.

    Anyone able to help identify?

    May 15th and 16th a teacher friend of my wife's hatched a bunch of chicks with her young students. I somehow ended up with 10 of them and am not sure what they are. The teacher does not know the breeds either. I took some pictures today to see if anyone is able to help identify them. Pics...

    Probably not the best place to ask, but do you make it to Detroit often? I'm heading up there sometime this summer and may be able to snag you some Serama Eggs. Not sure where at in Ontario you are.

    Topic of the Week - Temperature and humidity in incubation

    I'm looking forward to hear everyone's thoughts. My first attempt to incubate eggs was a failure. Started with 5 eggs and am down to 2 which I don't think are any good either. Will be trying with another 3 or 4 in the next day or so. Will be watching this post to see everyone's comments...
