I've gone over the edge- I'm a peeping thomasina!!

Yep- my love of my chooks has sent me over the edge. Past the point of no return. I am such a peeping thomas-ina with a chicken addiction!


I bought, and installed, TWO, color, wireless, night vision capable cameras in my barn/coop!! Just so I can turn on my TV and watch Chicken TV while kicking back in the comfort of my king size!! Oh yeah, I did that. I am somewhat proud AND embarrassed. Proud to have it and to have had installed it myself, yet embarrassed to tell non-chicken people lest they discover just how INTO my flock I really am! (now I have to figure a way to hook themup to an alternative battery system since there is no electric out there and the 9 volt batteries only last so many hours unless I run out and unplug them and plug em back in all the time).

I know I'm not the only one to do it. I just cant be. I couldnt even bring myself to tell my DH how much the system cost, I just told him to consider my Christmas taken care of. He is still very suspicious.

I have to say, I LOVE IT!! Its so fun to see them just being chooks while no one is around them. Its like watching National Geographic, but on a much smaller, more feathery scale. So darned entertaining! The kids were soooo funny when we first got it going- pranks and silly behavior went on for hours!


Sooooo, anyone else have chicken cams going?

 

[silkieroo]

This made me laugh! Unfortunetly yes that is something i would do!!

 

[welsummerchicks]

I think I'd like one. I find the way they behave when roosting to be extremely funny - they are absolutely comatose.

You can find alot of systems on CL. But I went right to Radio Shack. I couldnt resist.

Oh honey I posted the link to my chicken cam, but so many people were on it, I had to take the link down. I couldn't even get online!!!

I like to watch mine on my game cam. I set it to take 3-picture sequences, so it's like watching in stop motion!!
I run out after work to get the cam and upload all my pix LOL

Might as well go on and have hubby run the electric.

Convince him its for the heated water dish.

 

[Rozzie]

I'd like one on my babies downstairs!

Now that is a TRUE CHICK FLICK!!!

Ohhh, now I need detailed instructions on how to do that!! Oh wait, that might be a bad idea....it could turn into a horror show very quickly with how often I go out there in my jammies and flip flops sans a shower and make-up!

But still...could be fun for awhile. (at least, until I get nominated for one of those 'worst dressed' reality shows!!)
