I checked out kijiji Ottawa and there are chicks available.

Still nothing this morning. :-( Tonight I will look for movement.

So what is your next batch going to be?

Congratulations.

Lesley came up with a great idea utilizing a container and creating a vacume, I was going to put a small ball valve but his idea eliminates that. soon you will need the hatching trays.
