It's pretty hot today and Parkour Chick decided to lay her egg in the heat of the day. Luckily, I was able to record right as she finally laid the egg! I review my coop set up for the hot months and Trinity decides to interrupt me. Also, it seems they like the store-bought spaghetti squash better than mine from the garden. Crazy chicks!

This clip comes from the video called Chicken Day Turned Upside Down, for obvious reasons! :D

I was away from the house and needed to be sure the chicken's water didn't freeze. It wasn't frozen but Michael checked everything and that's when things went awry.

This is my first live video just for the heck of it! Here are the hens having a great time in the snow and scratching around in the straw. It's surprising how different the video moves when you're recording live... nothing to stabilize my shaky hand LOL

Phoenix ended up going to the vet after I was unable to get the broken egg out of her.

We installed a security camera in the chicken run and, after resolving a few issues, believe it will work for me. It does have trouble connecting to the WiFi sometimes but it's over 100 feet away. Because of this, there are times when it drops the recordings but if someone were using this close to their home and not so far away, it probably wouldn't do that. Once in a while it gets stuck meaning it won't rotate passed a certain point (up/down or side to side). The fix is to simply unplug and plug it back in causing the device to go through it's self diagnostic routine which snaps it out of whatever issue it's having.
So far, so good! We also have a camera in the coop but it does not rotate. It's good for checking on them to make sure they're all inside.
NOTE: I am not sponsored by this company and, although I like the camera, I cannot recommend it other than to say how it's working for me.

It's that time of year when winterizing for chickens becomes important. Added plastic to parts of the kennel and coop/run to keep the rain out and the wind off the chickens. Michael shows up to help me by removing the gutters and adding 2x4s and doing a lot of stapling. Using a heavy duty, clear shower curtain (which worked great).
