Of all the places I never expected to see a link to a site called The Hencam, it would be the b3ta mailing list with its 100,000 members.
But there, in my email, it was!

"Over a few pints a few months ago me and my mates decided that we could do a webcam watching some hens", writes Neil, "we've spent ages getting it to update quickly and smoothly, even running it 24hrs a day." Quirky web cams are a bit 1997, but in the spirit of nostalgia and the fact that we like chickens, we're linking this. Woo. http://www.hencam.co.uk
Apart from the horrible and pointless frame making the page ridiculously small, it's actually quite nice to watch! They even have night-cam hen viewing! Amazed it's holding up, given the fact that being "b3ta'd" is the equivelant of being slashdotted (nerd stuff, don't worry if you don't understand!)

I was going to do the same thing and try and get the camera to pan round to
follow the chickens using artificial intelligence, but I thought "See my
chickens - now with AI!" didn't quite sound right....

Quite - she's one of "the fallen" - lost to a fox. I did make sure I sent a picture of the wreckage to these people.

...and they will never have chickens, because they don't have the heart for it!

The hencam has just been featured on BBC1's Look North programme ! It's apparently up to 60,000 hits now. Why didn't I think of that. Confused
