    Camera in chicken coop?

    I use the Foscam C2 hanging in the rafters about 4 feet up, the coop is 3x6 and it shows almost the whole inside. We have an extension cord running out to the coop about 50ft. It uses wife. It has a nice picture and infrared at night.

    Wanting to sprout....

    I mixed mine together after I checked germination. (wheat, kamut, split peas, lentils, buckwheat, barley) My first try I had the scratch grains with cracked corn and it sprouted ok, but the corn made a slimy goopy mess by day 3 and was fermenting and moldy..yuck! I found that the milo seed in it...

    Wanting to sprout....

    Many peer reviewed studies have shown that sprouting beans and other grains greatly reduces the phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors (the antinutrients) in them. As the seed sprouts, it used these compounds up, or they are rinsed away. Some studies show 70% by just soaking, up to 80% after they...

    I went to my local Asian market and racked up on whole grains to sprout...Kamut (wheat), regular wheat, whole barley (not hulled) wild rice, buckwheat, mung beans, millet, rainbow lentils and split peas. I got about a pound of each. Some organic, some not, but all human safe! Did a test run one...

    Growing fodder for chickens

    I just started this today. Soaked some wheat, sorghum, millet, corn, sunflower seeds, lentils, and quinoa. Drained and placed it across the top and bottom of a 24 count Costco clear egg container in a sheet pan (poked holes in bottom of egg container). Put another clear egg container on top...

    UPDATE: I went ahead and put her down today, she had started dragging that leg and doing the "split". She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday,and that was maybe a teaspoon of oats. I'm not sure if I have the heart to do the necropsy, I may send her to the state lab in Nashville, its $25 plus...

    It is a Foscam model C2. http://foscam.us/products/foscam-c2-white-indoor-hd-1080p-wireless-p2p-ip-camera.html It is on the Wifi network, as we have electricity running to the coop. It has motion and sound detection and infrared (night) vision. My husband let me "borrow it" for a bit after we...

    Roost is 3 ft from coop floor, then another 2 ft down out the pop door. Sometimes I have seen them try to fly all the way off the roost down to the ground, but I think they are all too fat to do that now. They have room to land and reset before going out the pop door. You can't see it by the...

    It's funny, now that I think about it, the BFF of Ginny, our Delaware "Luna Lovegood" limped about 2 weeks ago for about 2 days. I was just about to separate her to "Chicken Time Out" and boom, she was better the next day. Her limp was not as bad, but was similar. At first, when I saw this one...
