Oh..in that case it could be anything. That's a huge gap and I see chicken wire. Chicken wire is designed to keep chickens in- it won't keep predators out. I'd recommend covering all that with hardware cloth.
Thats my exact thought, cause it detects the chickens being up top there on the chicken wire. Thats where they like to sleep, and it always detects them when they move around. This time it detected them after they got startled, and then it doensnt detect anything else, timelapses the rest of the night. The last time it detected the chickens moving around being startled, it was 2:10 Am. After that it doenst pic up anything and by 2:35 you can see them all laying where they still are dead.
Does your camera have a setting where it saves battery by pausing for a length of time between motion captures?
No its plugged in so theres no battery. Im going to try to post the video if i can right now to help show what happened
Cant post a video, so i tried to screenshot with the time slots on there.
I was kinda thinking the same thing. We have had a bocat in the past get in, but she always gets in at the same spot up top were the chickens sleep in the corner with the hole. Im not sure how she would have gotten in since the gate was shut as well, and without the camera noticing. And everytime shes gotten some in the past she takes them, not just clean bites the head off and leaves all of them but idk
You have to look in the software settings. My cameras are hardwired but a couple are set to pause between consecutive triggers or they would trigger nonstop. I'm guessing yours is set up that way as well or everytime a bird fluffed its feathers or peaked its head out from under the wing you would get a video of it.
