Big Brother might be long gone, but now you can watch chooks doing their thing instead.

A Queensland free-range egg farm has turned its chickens into reality TV stars.

Sunny Queen Farms spokeswoman Julie Proctor said the farm had installed a web camera in its pasture to help educate consumers about the difference between free-range and caged eggs.

"We want our customers to see first-hand the life led by the happy, healthy hens who produce our free-range eggs," Proctor said.

"The live egg cam has been set up so people can see everything the girls get up to when they are out and about - from the moment they hit the paddock and start foraging until they're brought back into the barn at dusk to get their beauty sleep."

Proctor said unlike other reality TV programs this one is unedited.

"It's just a camera constantly filming the pasture during daylight hours, showing the hens as they go about their day."

People can watch the egg cam live at www.sunnyqueen.com.au/eggcam.
