You tie a go-pro cam to the head of a hen and link it to your internet so you can see what it is doing all day long...If you have a rooster and put it on his head you call it roo-cam...


Gophers have go-cams... etc..

With your best interests at heart, I must tell you a little something I learned a long time ago...DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ!!!



Some people just make things up....So with that in mind what do you think of attaching a camera to your chickens head now??????


Cluckies has a hen cam, it is misnamed, it should be named a chicken run cam.. Or as we like to call it.. the place we see Cluckies make mad dashes in her unmentionables.....

My bad....I really should have specified when I asked....I meant like what kind of cam, where did she put it, yada yada yada??? Is it like a nanny cam turned chicken cam , etc....where can I get one, how do I put it up and connect it to my phone, laptop, etc.....

I would love to have one so I could watch it from work and then maybe I wouldn't be pulling my hair out waiting for the clock to strike "quitin' time"

ESPECIALLY in your beautiful, well-coveted, new coop and run! Cluckies will answer you in a little while. I really do not know either.

That is cool! I want to do that! Dunno how I'll attach it or if one will let me.

Super cool!! I'd love to see where my girls are hiding their eggs!

My Cochins are 2 different colors....


Awwwww....they like me

This is one of my Australorps that follows me around chirping all the time ...she REALLY likes me!


Getting comfy....


he fought with my buttons...kept trying to rip them off my shirt! I know it looks a little weird but I swear he's tearing at my buttons!




This is my GLW that I am sure is a Roo

Siggie where'd you get the cochins?

A friend introduced me to sushi about 8 years ago and I have been eating it ever since.  I have never been over seas but hope to get to Germany and England some day before I die. 

I have an opportunity to get some scrap 2" rigid insulation...was wondering if I could build a next box system that is insulated on 5 sides (with the front open of course) do you think that could help the eggs from freezing in the winter or is it a moot point because of the front being open?

Gave the chickens a bucket of grubs I dug out of my garden the other day....WOW what a party that was!!  The whole chasing each other thing and stealing the bugs is a hoot!!

LOL we call that chicken football here!

I just collect every hour or two in winter with a completely unheated coop.
I do get a couple frozen ones, but not as many as you'd think.

I'm curious how people with 9-5 work handle that? I've seen little nest box heating pads somewhere.

I don't think insulation would hurt any. If they can peck at it, they will eat that foam board insulation. Probably the silver bubble wrap, too. So try to construct it in a way that the insulation is sandwiched/protected from curious beaks.
