I had babies like that! A few were boys, but the girls were just gorgeous!

Wow, is that one a hen? If so, I really, really hope mine is a girl. Yours is absolutely gorgeous!! The only white birds I have are Delaware's, and they have a tiny bit of black around their neck(and they were white as chicks) . Mine that I"m questioning is getting whiter each day..

 
I think your right. It would be best if I could get another camera. I just have to guess which way he'll come from. I'd really like a picture! I'm pretty sure that the video setting is not working at night, but the still picture setting seems to work fine. It would be helpful to have a guardian dog, but the way I am, I'd worry more about the dog all the time. Summers are too harsh for a hairy dog outside and winter is too cold for the Dobermans to stay out. I used to have llamas free roaming and they were very good at keeping predators back. Most of my pens are pretty safe. I mostly worry about my free range peacocks. Not much that can be done to protect them. They are pretty wiley though. If they would just stay in their tree a little longer in the morning they would be safer.

I think tonight I'll move the camera to a different corner of the peacock pen. Facing out of course, or I'd have lots of bird pictures...
I had something getting into the coop at night (figured rodent) and raiding the feeder; found a trail of feed leading back under the raised coop. Investigated & found a small, active hole @ the back corner where something was digging under...just a small hole. I hung one of my game cams inside the coop, opposite the feeder. I made the mistake of leaving it on 24 hrs per day for 3 days running before checking the sd card. I had well over 150 chicken pics to wade through. Never did see what was raiding the feeder, but the activity stopped when I poured Sacrete around the area of the hole.

Check out western washington poultry on Facebook. They posted an add for eggs that include blue and black spangled orps.
