More of a fancier pet nowadays rite?

no, its just that it works out cheaper than buying as many eggs as wee use. wee get approx. 2 eggs a day from the chickens. also the previous owners of the house i live in now kept birds, so there was an aviary (a posh cage) in the garden already, and there's also the fun factor. I can see them from my bedroom window when I'm on my computer so i can keep an eye on them.

sort of off-topic:
I'm thinking of waterproofing an old ps2 eyetoy and fitting a load of infra-red led's so i can see them at night too. its just finding a way of getting the wire long enough. USB cable is quite expensive (as you've already gathered, I'm constantly skint), and anyway, the maximum distance of USB is 5 meters, which is just too short. I've thought of using UTP cable but i don't know wherther it would keep the interference out, seeing as i live about 100m from a mobile phone mast and an electricity substation. i might not actually need to use an eyetoy to see them at night, because they probably glow gently if i look hard enough...
