From Civilian to Chicken Rancher timeline.

So did you check the coop cam several times over night? ...

Nope. Checked the Cam at 10 PM when I headed to bed. Again this morning after I had eaten breakfast.

I'm not the anxious type. I've read the opinions expressed on this forum, research products, read product reviews, read "chickens for Dummies" and made my decisions.

If any of my decisions are in error I'll go back and reassess. Drives my wife nuts.

Very admirable! Besides, they were probably sleeping too.

Yes chickens are very social, they dont stray far from the others usually. If one finds something interesting all the others will be there quite shortly to check it out too.

What a fantastic thread! I just wish I could watch them on the cam. Windows is forbidding me, saying you're a high risk. Maybe my pc has been talking to your wife...

Try FireFox browser instead of IE


HA! HA! HA! on your pc talking to my wife...........that's not possible is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see them! How fabulous! What time is it? I see the lights coming on. I can't pan the camera, though
You wife must have had words with my pc, because it wouldn't have been a Windows 7 issue. That sort of thing just doesn't happen ;-)

I did something similar (but cheaper) for hatching eggs. I had some family in the south of England and more in France and the Czech Republic who wanted to watch. It was a pain getting it to work, but it was rather cool.

Missed it! Someone just panned to the clock lol, but I was looking at another screen.

May 23

Got the Chunnel finished. Plexiglas window with trim. Roof shingled.

The four yellow things on the edge of the roof are clamps. I put a heavy bead of silicone caulking along the edge and waited to in sure the roof "stuck". Stuck my nose into the coop and all I could smell was wood chips. No silicone fumes with chicks laying on their backs and legs pointed towards Heaven!

Door for the run, finish coop trim and a few minor details will be completed this weekend. Then I can just sit back and watch the money roll in from all the eggs I'll $oon be $elling...
