i got a new gamecam and cant figure out how the flash works been putting in coop at night to catch whatever is getting my little chicks took 250 pictures and only time flash went off was when i sat it on the ground and when i moved feed bags and other obstacles out from in front of it.

curiass guinea

ok thats it other 2 picks wont upload lol out of 250pics only 3 good 1s

I love. The guinea. Always curious!

you should put it outside with them. They will do so much fun silly chicken things. I can't wait to see more of your babies

also with the flash i don't know what to tell you my DH sets it up for me

maybe something in the instructions could help you troubleshoot?

My son had that cam we had the same problem. He took it back. I had some others & everybody has their favorites. The one that is easiest to use & dependable is Moultrie I45 Gamespy digital camera. They all eventually quit working just a matter of time.

(in the 1st picture you can see the pile of dirt where something is actually digging inot the coop)

Hehehe "matter of time" my Moultrie only worked for ONE day.

I replaced it with a Bushnell one that has worked beautifully thus far.

Is the camera positioned to see things coming into the coop? All I saw in the OP were pictures of birds --- though I understand that happens, LOL I have a thread dedicated to my game cam pictures!

I couldn't see the dirt that was mentioned

I couldn't see any thing in your photos except some vague images so I down loaded them to my picasa program and lighten them and could only see chickens and a guinea in the 2nd. photo no dirt pile nothing else except nest. you have silkie and one red hen I also saw some white chicken with some black feathers I think.

 

[silkydragon]

heres 1 of my rir hen

ok i think ill be having a heatlamp on in the coop so i can see the night time pics keep the coop a little warmer and hopefully up production.
ill try to update this post daily with pics for the next 2weeks (lol if anybodey from ohio sees a chicken they want let me know im joining airforce and need to get rid of everything but silkies and cochins and dad will probly keep rirs)
