    Coop Cam

    If you have an old Android phone, you can use it as a webcam. Check out the IP Webcam app in the play store. For viewing video on Android, I recommend tinyCam. I have the paid pro versions of both. If you want to use an old computer with a webcam, try YawCam. (Google it)

    Can you take a dog (on a leash,of course) into a Tractor Supply store?

    I was in a Rural King store a couple months ago, and heard two people talking about the time they saw someone ride a HORSE into the store! I'm surprised they allowed that, because of a liability if it got spooked and kicked someone or bolted.

    would cayanne pepper repel a rat ?

    Fan During the Day in the Coop?

    I use a box fan in the coop. I put it a couple feet off the ground so it doesn't blow directly on them. I use sand for the floor, and it also helps dry it out if it gets too wet from humidity (or if I forget and leave the windows open when it rains).

    Adventures with possums

    FYI, possums have more teeth (50!) than any other mammal. Here's one I caught in a live trap in my yard, I let him go in the woods a few miles away. And here's one I saw in my yard before I had chickens: If you'd like, you can see the rest of the pics I took of him here: A wild possum I...
