Welcome to HenHangout! Experience an interactive chicken coop livestream where you control the action - move cameras, dispense feed, and immerse yourself in the charming world of our feathered friends! This stream runs completely autonomously - I may not be present *'Channel points' are accumulated via proprietary means at 5 per minute to bypass Affiliate status ('Points' accumulation is built into twitch and available to Affiliates, but it subjects viewers to ads so I don't want it). New viewers start with 550 points, meaning you can test a dispenser in ~10 minutes* 😊

This stream is designed to operate autonomously, and I may not be available to answer specific questions. AI is utilized and available to answer questions in my absence with the '**!ask**' command ###Command usage example >!ask How many chickens are there?
Enjoy these interactive features and connect with our chickens like never before! - 2 Controllable Pan/Tilt Cameras ◦ Pan/Tilt by degrees ◦ Goto presets - 2 Controllable Feed dispensers - AI bot can answer specific questions about the stream, chickens and setup (!ask)
There are two controllable feed dispensers. If you wish to dispense food, please confirm from the videofeed that the hoppers have food. Dispensing food is disabled for both when the gate is closed. The contents of each dispenser varies and will be displayed in the stream. Standard dispense operations are 2 seconds, accounting for time going in reverse at the beginning and end to reduce likelihood of clogging - **Feeder 1**: Within view of camera 2, being inside the run it is most likely to be seen and accessed by chickens. It is the *default* dispenser if nothing is specified **Aliases**: 1, one, inside, run, door - **Feeder 2**: Within view of Camera 4, being the farthest point from the gate it is likely to only go noticed by circumstance **Aliases**: 2, two, fence, outside ###Command usage example >!feed outside Dispense food in the view of Camera 4

There are currently no ways to donate. The feed is inexpensive, and streaming costs are low; everything’s running just fine! Thanks for watching and enjoying the chickens.
Chickens naturally establish a 'pecking order,' which might involve some playful dominance displays. Rest assured, this is normal behavior and nothing to worry about. I wish all of my chickens could get along but my wishes aren't going to change nature.
