Camera for run

[M_Struna]

I’m putting in an automatic coop door to the run and am wanting to install a camera to make sure all the girls are in for the night. I have WiFi access and electricity, and the run is covered. Looking for suggestions. What is working for you? Appreciate your input.

I have an automatic door, although my hens refuse to go into the coop voluntarily at night... I have to go in at night and put them all in individually. hopefully it works better for you! lol!

That’s weird do they leave the coop through the door?

I use bird feeder cameras — they work well, and the leftover seeds that wild birds drop are cleaned up by the chickens. There's no mess like you'd have with a regular bird feeder.
