Margalot Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Oh thats so wonderful, I wish I was technical enough to set one up at mine, then I could check them when I'm at work!! Mind you if I saw them being naughty, I might have to make a dash home or ring the neighbours! How difficult was it to set up etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirlsuk Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That is brilliant, it is a shame that they are out of the run (4 me that is). i'm gonna wait till they come back for a drink ,he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi ya, Was quite easy to set up, hubby did it, he's very techy, knows his computer stuff so he's used to it. He drilled into the roosting bars and mounted the camera there. It's very handy to keep an eye on what they are up to. I went next door to the neighbours for coffee and kept a check on them over the fence, but when I wasn't looking they sneaked into a part of the garden they know they are not allowed, when I came back and I called them they came running like 3 naughty little girls!

cluckbok Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah it's their bedtime now, they gone in. Try again in the morning, you'll see them eating and scratching around then. They freerange each afternoon from around 3pm-4pmish til sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluckbok Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi ya, Not sure exactly how old but are around 18mths I would say. They are a Columbian Blacktail (Calder Ranger) a Columbine (Skyline) and a Speckledy. They are enjoying their free range at the moment.
