🔴 LIVE Chicken Roost Cam 24/7 | The Whole Flock Perching, Preening & Napping 🐓

Our Take

Credit where it's due: Marlboro Meadows Farm's roost cam is exactly what it says on the tin — hens perching, preening, and napping in a quiet corner of a New Jersey coop. It's the kind of camera that watches because someone cares about their flock, not because a government contractor wants to monetize your movements. No license plates, no hotlists, no data being quietly shipped off to a vendor's cloud.

We cover this corner of the internet because the word "camera" does a lot of heavy lifting these days, and it's worth remembering the difference. A coop cam records chickens who can't consent and don't need to. An ALPR network records every driver on a public road, logs where they went, and keeps that record searchable by police departments across the country — often with little oversight and even less public debate about whether that trade-off was ever agreed to.

So enjoy the hens. But if you're wondering whether the cameras near your own house are watching traffic instead of roosters, check our map to see what's been spotted nearby, and visit take action if you want to push back on the ones that are tracking people, not poultry.
