Very popular in the Maritimes - HenCam

OK, I have a complete soft spot for chickens. Nancy and I kept a dozen layers for years when we lived in New Hampshire. There's nothing quite as soothing as the sound of chickens speaking in low voices and nothing as ridiculous as a chicken's affronted dignity.

Our friend and incredible cook Terry Golson keeps a dozen over in Carlisle and she's got a webcam on her little flock. It's well done, frame rate is 1 per second which is enough to show her chickens aren't any smarter than mine were.

Terry reports that her HenCam site is quite popular in the Canadian Maritimes. I'm sure the folks up there are as amused that someone thinks a pen full of chickens merits its own website as they are by the birds themselves.

One of the very first internet webcam sites was fishcam. Just a camera on an aquarium. It was enormously popular, too.
