What a great camera set-up!...and nice chicks.
I can see how by browsing this post will cost me some serious $$$$$'s.

Thank you ....

The camera was a luxury .... Amazon $255

Here is the coop: http://bracken.name/html/coop.html

The run is obviously finished, it matches the coop and I'll post pictures tomorrow

At the risk of hijacking the thread, I have a couple of questions:

Did you use the Panasonic router (BB-HGW700A) and how far can the router be from the camera?

Thanks in advance and congratulations on the high level of workmanship on both the coop and the cam set-up.

I love the pics of their first day out and the cam for the other is really cool.

I have a Linksys WRT54G router .... it's cheap, and it does exactly what it says on the box

er .... how long is a piece of string? My camera is about 30ft from the router, and the signal goes through 2 walls. Signal strength is high.

If I needed it further away, I have a spare router which can be hacked and used as a range extender/wireless access point.

None of this is difficult, just frustrating at times.​

Suzi,
thanks for the pictures. My 15 chicks are only 12 days old and can't wait for THEIR day.
How warm was it there today?

It was up to about 73-75 here. it's still about 72, at 5:30
Only supposed to go down to 52 tonite (which means about 45-48here on the lake) so I will leave them out with the heat lamp and a good draft sheild. I have the turkeys still in the house becasue I am going to keep them apart to feed them the higher protein feed. I have the chicks on a 16% chick starter and the turkeys on 20%.
I'm in the middle of taking all the various cages out and pressure washed them so I can set them back up empty, waiting for the next batch of whatever orphans I get dropped on the doorstep! ( I always keep a few cages and tanks set up with bedding and such so I can just plop the new ones in. I guess I'll have to be keeping a brooder set up as well now!

That's a nice little coop.
