I say someone steals my chickens they r in for it i have never used a webcam but im sure i could figure out how *MUAHAHA evil laugh*

*ahem cough cough* and as far as paint thats great if i were you i would get those plastic bands with like barcodes or serial numbers on them record each ones number then u have absolutely irefuteable proof that your chicken was in his/her possesion and that its yours plus having pics of your chickens to identify them and to show their condition and quality would show if he had abused them or ruffled feathers in a hasty getaway

Remember that movie "Home Alone"? What about if you rigged up something Like the glue and feathers thing? Then the cops could follow the trail of feathers! And if it was set up for only at nighttime, you wouldn't have to worry about the kiddies getting into it. (They don't sleep walk do they?) It wouldn't hurt anything but their pride, and you would have irrefutable proof!

I hope you can identify the person once you catch them- perhaps then you can get back the ones previously stolen!

I'm so sorry you lost any- it's definitely making me get moving on my locks- I never put the hasp on and haven't gotten around to it...and I live in the middle of a busy neighborhood with lots of foot traffic.

My dogs don't sleep outside, or I'd be less worried, but it's too late to train them to be okay with that- never slept outside a day in their lives.

I might just set up my own chicken-cam...I think sometimes I ought to have a lot more eggs than I do, and it's odd for them all to take the same day off...

Yup, rock salt in the butt is very effective. I got a couple in the butt and back of my leg when I was 9 or 10 and got caught stealing apples and peaches from my grandpa neighbor down the road. Spent a couple hours soaking in the irrigation ditch. I knew it was bad when I went home and grandpa said

'I got a phone call from old man brooks down the road..... he said he had a one way conversation with you'

.....rock salt is nothing compared to a willow branch on an already stinging butt.

Mr Brooks apples sure didn't taste good anymore after that. Things were so much simpler back then. If Mr Brooks were to do that today I'm sure he would be sitting in jail right now, but I'm glad he did it because I never stole anything since that.....Lesson learned the hard way.
