Hello, I'm new on here and I'm sure I posted this in the wrong place but I'm wanting to know if anyone uses GPS locator tags or anything else to track missing chickens. I searched the internet for a long time and found a lot of products but the reviews are bad, products too large, tags that...
Has anyone used a GPS tracker (like Tile or Air Tag) to keep track of a chicken? I live in a neighborhood and all my hens are well-behaved except for one, who loves to roam for multiple days on end until a neighbor tells me she’s been spotted.
Anyone else having early closing issues with the “Run Chicken” door using GPS?
I’ve been back and forth with customer service. The door was working fine for several months and then suddenly it started closing early. Sometimes up to 2 hours early. It did this once while I was out of province and...
...that we free range on 20 acres. Over the last few weeks our turkeys have become more adventurous, visiting the neighbors that surround us. We try to keep tabs on them to keep them nearer our house, but sometimes we lose track. Has anyone used GPS devices to track their birds? Thanks in advance
...of a pigeon who hatched on my balcony and now thinks my balcony is his home (very tame and eats from my hand).
Anyway, I would love to track where he flies to during the day. Are there pigeon GPS trackers?? I am in the UK and have been unable to find anything. I would love to see where he goes
...seen a lot of people using chicken aprons, and if I could get one small enough for her (or sew it myself) I could attach a pocket for a small GPS tracker, such as a these. It would give me a lot of peace of mind to be able to find her hiding places! Does anyone have any thoughts/experience...
...the old coop location, in the cold damp drizzling rain. Luckily I handle them lots so they were easy to catch and put back into the coop. How come all the older hens (all under a year old), were able to find the new location while the "babies" couldn't? At what age does a chicken's GPS...
Does anyone know of a site that sells these? So far the only affordable option I have seen is RFID tags but they are not gps traceable and would require an RFID reader which has limited range.
Im really wanting to incorporate traceable tags when I put ID tags on my free range babies. I have lost...
I have heard about people using gps tracking devices on falcons and racing pigeons to keep from losing them. I was wondering if you could do this with quail and allow them to free range, using the gps to track them down when they wander too far?
Completely serious question.
If so, does anyone have an economical solution to that?
2 of our 3 drakes have decided that, rather than hop in the lovely pond we built for them, they want to go wandering off deep into the woods and wetlands surrounding our yard.
I kind of get that. Right...
I don't really like GPS's, my BF had to get one. I would rather get the directions before hand on the computer and look at the route (I'm the one who drives). I don't trust them, and I will tell you why. We when to see my mom and her BF the day after thanksgiving. He lives a little over an hour...
Last week I had to move my free-ranging flock to a new coop as their old one is condemned (red mites...).
Most of the girls lived in the old coop for 1 to 2 years and hang around there most of the time when out free-ranging - how long should I leave them locked in their new coop (and outside...
Sourland.... I DID NOT ask for broodies. Not I. Not even once! You must have your GPS on the blink again, because look what you did to me!
FOUR hens? Are you kidding me? I only have six cochin hens. jeez
Make them stop!
Oh yeah, before someone asks, the shavings I changed out. Had...
I have a new coop/run for my bantams that were born the day after Easter and every night I have to use a "funnel" system to herd them up the ramp into the coop. I have tried everything including letting them stay out after dark with a light in the coop. They do not gravitate. Today we had fierce...
I mean, I know how they work, but is there a subscription to a service you have to get after the initial purchase of the GPS?
I have given up on finding DH a extremely large Harley bar and shield for Christmas, so I was thinking about getting him a GPS unit instead. He's always wanted one...
*Just in time for Christmas* Brand New Never Opened! Bushnell ONIX 350 GPS Receiver
Hubby decided he didn't like the present I bought him. So this is up for grabs. I will mail this priority mail unless you want express mail which will cost more. I accept paypal: [email protected] Or...
This weekend we needed to use a map and directions to find where we were to be going. Since reading a map is next to impossible while driving a motorcycle, my husband came up with what I called his "Redneck GPS."
I borrowed a GPS this week and we were messing with it. There are some thing I like:
You can try a new way and it will still get you to where you want to go.
You can go the way you know and it will recalculate
You can find a store near by
It can talk to you and you can pick voices
You can make...
