CoopCam in Mashpee

We are featured in an article in the local newspaper.

I enjoy and appreciate all the positive feedback that my endeavor has received.

Best regards.

The hens had to make adjustments and now I am hearing from friends who also have to make adjustments. The earlier sunset tells the girls to go in for the night about 4:30pm. Unfortunately, friends who work full time and cannot access the website at work (due to blocks) are missing them altogether. Therefore, they only see the chickens on weekends. So not only are the hens adapting to the shorter days but their fans are as well. I’ve attached this picture for you folks!

We found another great purpose of the coop cam. Our dear friend is fighting synovial sarcoma and going through her first bout of intensive chemotherapy. While lying in her hospital bed, she finds it relaxing and therapeutic to go onto the cam and watch the chickens.

What a surprise and great way to show our love and well wishes with this message poster. My niece researched and found that blue is the ribbon color of hope for this type of cancer.
So rest easy Boo, we are all her cheering you on. And keep watching the hens for comfort and entertainment!

The indoor coop cam has been installed. Although the henhouse is small and therefore, the camera is stationary, it is really neat to watch the hens inside the house. It will be very helpful during the winter when I assume they will be spending more time indoors.
Right now the camera is not able to send images to this blog but hopefully soon that will be the case. Keep checking back for the indoor cam and you may see, a hen in the nest box or a freshly laid egg in the nest. A hen on the roost or I could be collecting eggs and/or cleaning out the henhouse. Enjoy!

I love my coop cam (thanks Russell). I like that when I am in the basement, on the treadmill, I can watch my chickens. When I am in the kitchen, with my Mac nearby, I can watch my chickens. Of course, I can always look out the window. Or better yet, walk out to the coop. But I love my coop cam!
