Photos of chickens, taken by chickens

Some interesting legality here, if these photos are really &quot;taken by chickens&quot; then they can&#x27;t be copyrighted: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Monkey_selfie_copyright_dispute" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput...</a><p>However, if this counts as being &quot;taken by chickens&quot; then it also implies that when a burglar triggers a motion-activated camera, the burglar owns the rights to the image.

Chickens are beautiful creatures worthy of at the least the respect we give to household pets. The unimaginable horror we put billions of them through on an ongoing basis, while dissonantly admiring their charm and brilliance, is a sobering realization.

I think when you say the photos are taken by chickens, I was imagining a chicken wearing a GoPro or something. These are motion-activated pictures from a stationary camera. They&#x27;re still very cool though.

A good reminder that one of the basic tenets of good wildlife photography is to photograph at eye level. So if you want to take a picture of your cat or dog, squat down to their level instead of pointing the camera downwards.

Not a chicken, but this was my favorite<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chicken.photos&#x2F;20220605091358" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chicken.photos&#x2F;20220605091358</a>

&gt; Are these chicken selfies?<p>&gt; Yes. The chickens are using an input device (the motion sensor) to invoke a computer function (the capture method on the Pi), which invokes a series of events that results in the photo being taken, uploaded, and shared.<p>&gt; This is identical to a human using an input device (tapping a button) to invoke a computer function (the post method on Instagram), which invokes a series of events that results in the photo being taken, uploaded, and shared.<p>Is it really &quot;identical&quot; though? A human knows they&#x27;re taking the selfie and sees the result. The chickens do not.

This was cool until I read about NFTs in the about section. What a bummer of a way to take a cool project and make it shitty.

&gt;Do the chickens lay eggs? &gt;&gt;Yes. They are the best fresh eggs you’ve ever tasted. They are available for $20 each. Pick up only.<p>Wow, some expensive eggs! Is it because these chickens are now celebrities? :)<p>Kidding aside, I just bought a box of 10 eggs today for 4 euros (~4,15USD) and thought that was a bit expensive. Also from free-range chicken.<p>I can find &quot;egg prices around the world&quot;, but I can&#x27;t find a single site where I can filter results by the size of eggs and type of chickens. Here&#x27;s an idea for a really unneeded SaaS!

This somehow makes me feel nostalgic for when the internet was more irreverent.

&quot;The purpose of a rooster is to yell at the top of its lungs all day and prevent the humans from sleeping past sunrise.&quot;<p>Excellent about page.

Did the chickens sign releases authorizing the use of their photos?

Dear, oh dear. Some of these chickens look like, er, deer.<p>Nice work.

Great use of an old DSLR camera, the quality elevates this to wonderful.

When my postman activates my doorbell camera by approaching the door, is he taking a selfie?<p>This is somewhat charming surveillance footage at best.

It&#x27;s nice to see that Gary Larson is still going strong, I think should make a cow tools site next <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Bondcliff2008&#x2F;status&#x2F;1530207754358431744" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;Bondcliff2008&#x2F;status&#x2F;1530207754358431744</a>

These photos are not taken by chicken, they are taken by camera with motion sensor, camera will take photo of anything, no matter whether chicken, thief, deer or squirell. Misleading title.<p>I was expecting I will see photos of chicken taken by chicken wearing GoPro, though dunno what would be trigger.

Another fun piece of chicken-centric art is Igorrr&#x27;s Chicken Sonata: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=WFxDOV6IwHk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=WFxDOV6IwHk</a>

There was a talk on this back in 2007: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk</a>

I had chickens and also had deer constantly destroying anything I was trying to grow, I hate those bastards with a passion.<p>I was always hoping the chickens would chase the deer but they just ignored them.

Those are some healthy looking chickens

Pretty cool idea for an NFT project. I love all the different things artists try in that space.

Chicken feed.

I went to the about page and was not disappointed. Stompers is a great name for a rooster.

If the author reads this: How does the downloading images from SD card part work?

Great and fun project! It would be nice if it had an rss feed too.

Noah Kalina at it again.

No possible way chickens literally aren&#x27;t T-Rex.

NFTs, $20 eggs, etc. aside, this made my day.

Aren&#x27;t these just trail cam pictures?

$20 for an egg? That&#x27;s just absurd.

I feel like calling these photos &quot;taken by a chicken&quot; is fairly misleading. The photos are taken automatically when a chicken wanders in front of a motion detector.<p>To test the claim with a similar example, let&#x27;s say I run a red light which triggers a red light cam to take a picture of me and my car. I don&#x27;t think I can claim that I took that photo, or that it is a selfie.

lost me at &quot;buy NFT&quot;
