Did the chickens sign releases authorizing the use of their photos?
When my postman activates my doorbell camera by approaching the door, is he taking a selfie? This is somewhat charming surveillance footage at best.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
A good general principle in almost any photography is that if you want pictures that are different from everyone else's, just get down a bit. Most people take shots at their eye level and don't even think to try a different angle
Unusual points of view. High, low, inside a pipe, from a tree, under water, where people don't usually go / aren't allowed / can't access, etc. Keep in mind that the unusual can become commonplace if overused. Selfie sticks were initially a novel PoV. They became cliche in about a week.
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.
Some interesting legality here, if these photos are really "taken by chickens" then they can't be copyrighted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disput... However, if this counts as being "taken by chickens" then it also implies that when a burglar triggers a motion-activated camera, the burglar owns the rights to the image.
When I’ve rented cameras for photo shoots, I’m pretty sure I own the photos and not the rental company, so this checks out. Maybe the BUY NFT link on every photo goes to accounts the chickens own. Nothing about NFTs makes any less sense than this, so why not?

>The chickens are using an input device (the motion sensor) to invoke a computer function [...] No, per the description and your legal context, the chickens are not taking the pictures.
You also don't own the copyright for pictures randomly generated by computers, presumably this applies to chicken randomization as well.
You don’t own the copyright for any picture generated by a computer, whether random or intentional
