Excerpt:
My Mom has a garden and chickens. Around the fenced-in garden is a parameter of bark and shrubs. The chickens love foraging in the bark and can easily kick and scratch several cubic feet of it out into the field within minutes. When they free-ranged, my Mom always kept an eye on them, which often limited the time she let them out: until now.

I told my Mom that I would devise a solution to the chicken problem for Mother’s Day. I thought I would take the opportunity to develop an object detection-based solution, as I had never worked with object detection tools before.
