Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[toastedblue]

as we're trying to hatch Cream Legbars thought I'd mess around with a webcam so the (minded) kids can watch from home

have set it up to stream continuously, max 4 connections, until they hatch (fingers crossed) then I might put it in the brooder, which should be more interesting to watch

 

can you kind soles test it for me... if you can't connect it's probably because the "max connections2 has been reached...

let me know what the quality and frame rate are like

you can change them by placing your mouse pointer over the image to show the menu

 

thanks

I guess no-one could connect then...

 

thanks anyway

[Egluntyne]

I've just had a peep and could see them!

[MadMitch]

Works fine......... looks like they are starting to hatch

[Goosey Lucy]

Hi,

 

Looks good to me.

 

(I spent longer looking at your website rather than the eggs You're not far from where I grew up - Bridgend)

 

Are the children seeing it yet?

[susiepoos]

how exciting!!! I can see it clearly - no problems.

[toastedblue]

thanks all...

 

does the time at the bottom of the image run on time, as in does it seem to keep time in real time ?

 

I know it's not very exciting to watch at the moment but when they hatch and are put in the brooder for a few weeks it should be way more interesting

[Paola]

That is sooooo Yes it does keep real time

[toastedblue]

when I say "brooder" I mean a cat transporter box that I'm in the middle of converting... will post some picks when done.

[Snowy]

Wow, that's great, lovely clear pics and very smooth picture movement, not jerky and intermittant like some i've seen. Sorry that wasn't a very technical description

[Couperwife]

I can see eggs

 

but you already know that

 

thats a funky device you have there isnt it - I wish we could hatch eggs, it must be really exciting - but prudence lives here at the moment.

 

I know, it hatch virtual eggs from your webcam

 

yay

Even I can see it and I usually can't get through to this sort of stuff.

Mid August seems ages away but time will fly.

 

Weve got chickens and quails due 30th July and Im dreading being away this weekend. Fun starts Sundat evening when we stop the turning cradle and up the humidity.

just to be a bit technical and nerdie...

the web page and image you see are actually on my laptop, not on the internet as such (although technically they are), so you're taking the image directly from me and eating up my bandwidth...

 

UKOnline, my ISP, wil probably have something to say about it no doubt

 

the software I'm using is so simple to use and FREE, you can even set it up with a password if you wanted to restrict access to parents/family/friends etc. only

I was wondering how you got that set up, personally I would buy some web-space and set up a FTP . Image won't be smooth, but you get to have loads of people watching at the same time....

[ubereglu]

Can't see it.

[toastedblue]

Can't see it.

 

sorry Ubereglu, windows decided to install an update and reboot so I've disabled autoupdates for now

if I lower the frame rate and quality slightly I could allow 20 or more connections... might try that later just to see how slow my connection gets

I think the "brooder cam" will be way more interesting... that will be weeks of (hopefully) at least 2 chicks doing their stuff until they're big enough to survive in the great outdoors

 

fingers crossed

[toastedblue]

bad news... candled the eggs in the incubator last night and 2 are unviable. they showed all the signs of early death, the 3rd doesn't look promising either so here's hoping the 2 under our broody Sussex are doing better

 

[Lewis]

I can't see it either

What is the software called?

[Paola]

How sad

[clootie]

Aww

[toastedblue]

I can't see it either

What is the software called?

 

it's called Yawcam and you should be able to view it with any web browser

 

if the direct link or streaming page doesn't work you can get a still image and keep reloading it at...

candled one of the eggs Sussex is sitting on and it looks very promising, plenty of blood vessels and large air pocket

[The Brown Clan]

How exciting lets hope so bring on chick cam

[quickcluck]

i can see it but only on my desktop, not my laptop
