Coop Cam is up and running!

[Mark and Carolyn]

Anyone else as obsessed as I am?

I found a wireless network camera on ebay cheap (cheap LOL!) and have it mounted in a corner of the coop. We watched 3 eggs being laid this morning. I think I want one for the run now!

That sounds like fun! Also nice to be able to check up on them from the house. I run out to check on them several times a day just to make sure they are OK and have everything they need. Of course I have only had my babies for 3 months now and have to gain some confidence that they will be ok now that they are not on my kitchen table!
How much does a new set up generally cost? I would also look for one on Craigs list or ebay but I have no idea what a good deal is.

What kind did you get?? Can you watch it on your computer?

Nooooo! Please don't tempt me with something else!

Bear in mind that you will eat up a lot of bandwidth and possibly slow down your access to BYC.....
