A baby Ino. Sadly the only one left. Not using this hen to breed again. She produces nice offspring like this one but she is too unpredictable hence one out of three babies left.

Starting to color out...had kind of a rough year with some pairs so not as many offspring as I wanted but oh well. I will be changing things up a bit next year on what and how I breed.

Snuck in a pic of my chickens too. New Hampshire Reds, Cuckoo Maran and Welsummers.

Very pretty! =D>
I see you have stress perches in there, do the canaries use them and how well do they work?
