    Ever wish you could live in a chicken coop? Well now you can with Hen Cam http://www.hencam.co.uk/ Follow the daily lives of 3 hens Milly, Tilly and Penny. According to the website "Milly is the big fat white hen, Penny is the cowardly chicken and Tilly is the ruler of the roost!". There is even an infrared camera installed in the coop so you can watch them in darkness. :D

    Don't you just love the Internet 8)

    Hen Cam is so addictive. I keep checking it. I can't wait until they wake up tomorrow morning!

    Just checked out Hen Cam, saw Milly or Tilly (can't tell which is which) going about their business. I see a few upturned pots and a ramp to get to a higher level. I wonder how many cameras are set up?

    Actually I don't understand why it is so dark now, it is just after 6pm. Not completely dark yet. It could be the quality of the camera though.

    I go away for a few days and whats waiting ? Hencam , Frank , you have lost the plot :D :D
    About 10 years ago my father in law was one of the first people here in Ireland to get satelite tv , probably 200 chanels . What was his favourite channel ? An obscure German station that had a camera pointed to a sitting room fire . He was fascinated by it , waiting for someone to put on more logs , which never seemed to burn out :eek:
    I did not have the heart to tell him it was a gas fire 8) Bugs

    Hen Cam rocks!! What I would love to do is hook a projector up to my laptop and project Hen Cam on my bedroom wall at night. How relaxing would that be! :D

    Hey what can I say, I'm just a bit eccentric sometimes. But I figure that is a requirement for all GardenStew members :smt101
