    Coop Camera?

    So you get an idea of our setup. I still need to put the battery and charge controller inside (probably just mount it up in a top corner where it's out of the way and they can't jump on top of it) it's working on our end. And you can see when we first just dropped it in the run they would be...

    Coop Camera?

    Sorry away from the computer for a bit.. sounds like you got the word on WYZE, I'm sure pros and cons on them but yes at $26 a camera you can't beat it.

    Coop building rookie looking for advice..

    Coop building rookie looking for advice..

    Hello all couple of quick questions / thoughts: So I'd like to put a new coop at the back of our yard but we have a green space behind and coyotes run wild in the evening. Should I consider building closer to the house or will they make their way down no matter what and just do a good job...
