garden, chicks, goslings, ducklings, chickens... I have just picked up nettles from a small bed size of my garden, gave them to the babies, tilled and watered as soil was very dry. I have found a package of swiss chard seeds and plan to sow them tomorrow. lost 1 silkie hen, another one that was sick got better. I hope with sunshine they will perk up.

You bet! I just got back from vacation and it was super nice to check on them and I was able to assist the chicken sitter in real time through the microphone when they were having trouble corralling a chicken

The camera (I bought one of the base station plus cameras, and three additional add on cameras) -

WYZE Cam Outdoor Starter Bundle (Includes Base Station and 1 Camera), 1080p HD Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free Smart Home Camera with Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant, white https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FFJWQY1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7BMSSREQB0NBF587XMQA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The solar panel -

[Updated Version] Wasserstein Solar Panel Compatible with Wyze Cam Outdoor - Power Your Surveillance Camera continuously with 2W 5V Charging (1 Pack, White) (Wyze Cam Outdoor NOT Included) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VHP6W4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5CE6VRHC8NTNF3J79S6Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

These are cool! I could use these now that I won't be home all day! I can point the cameras to the food and water and use to remind my family to check on them. They do not love the chickens as much as I do.

Yes!! They have many uses and at the price point, I could afford a lot of cameras I might be adding a couple more hehe, my family is the same way

Chickaletta is happily sitting on 6 eggs I had express shipped (1 night it took)
It will be good to add some genetic diversity into my flock too so hopefully the hatch rate will be good since they cost $40 (AU)

Hard to get them all to cooperate for a group shot!
