Chickens on Chairs

Created on 04 Nov 2018

A system for sensor-based chicken care & monitoring

We want to automate some of the less interesting aspects of raising our chickens. Feed quantity remaining, water supply and temperature (relevant in winter), closing the roost door after the chickens have returned to the roost at the end of the day, and finally, determining if they have laid eggs, how many, and by which chicken.
