Go wireless if you can. I have a wired system with several cameras that cover most of my property, but the chicken and duck areas are a little too far away for good camera placement. I may get another wireless system just for the coops, or trying to figure out a signal booster or something. There are a few threads here on what some people have done. I just need to take some time and actually research to see what will work for me.

That's my biggest issue. . No Wi-Fi out where the duck pen is. I had a range extender but it didn't work too great.
 
Look at this silly drake, on the roof of my chicken pens, trying to find a way to get to the juvies. He is relentless! :barnie
(part of my roof is still awaiting the metal)

I AM FURIOUS!! My poor Call duck lady emailed me just now, saying all her ducks have been stolen by some wicked, evil despicable person! Who would do such a thing? That person deserves to be arrested and thrown into prison!
She has a sweet little son who incubated and raised these ducks, trying to earn up money selling them. HE's devastated, and I am sick right now.
Not only do I not get any ducks, but they have none. I said they can still have Gilbert if they want him, the poor boy.
This guy stole her white drake about a week or so ago, and now came back and stole them all out of the coop!
Wow I have bad luck with Call ducks. It's been torturous trying to get my hands on some.

I don't need any more drakes! I've got my hands full with just two of em. And the two little chicks I hatched are getting so big! I am afraid one of them is a rooster. The comb is already getting pink and bigger than the other one, and they're not even a month old. So I'd have 4 roosters! I don't think Napoleon would be nice to his son, but maybe.
I let them out to play yesterday and Napoleon was very interested in them, clucking and doing the rooster dance. Normally he's a jerk to chicks, but maybe somehow he senses they're his?
Funny, I have an Edna Mae jr and a Napoleon jr. They created duplicates of themselves

Go get your groceries without worrying. If they had barely internally pipped, you have plenty of time before they will need any more help.
