Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Oh, Moon is such a sweety!

So Mel is giving us all pointers on how to "break" a broody? We just have to run at them flapping and squawking whenever they sit?

I will need video of you attempting that technique please.

I use Arlo security cameras. They are battery powered wireless cameras. Although I did purchase a wiring kit back when I was trying to identify what took Mal from us.

A camera will be the best way to find out what is going on.

Thanks. Going to look into this.

Thanks. Going to look into this.

My advice is to get as many cameras as I need in my initial purchase as they can get pricey one at a time.

Thanks for that! I was going to start with 3. Not enough? I suppose I might want to see what's going on outside the coop too. Going to be thinking about this today.

I have another question. Do you pay for a monthly service for surveliling your chickens?

Nope. No surveillance fees 30 days of storage on their cloud for free. You can download any videos of photos you want.

So much is based upon the construction of your setup. I have 3 cameras, 1 in the coop, one under the coop, and one in the big run. I wish I had four. I have one blindspot.

That's all so helpful. DH was thinking it might end up being expensive to run, but I think if I invest in two sets of rechargeable batteries from the beginning, it wont have to cost anything at all.

Thanks so much! I had to go back and find one of your videos to show him the video is good enough quality for watching chickens.

Here is Lilly jumping up on the high roost.

She's stopped doing it now. She had a look in the nest yesterday. There are no eggs in it.
It's all a bit beyond me.
