Looking for chicken care Feb. 7 - 17th in Grandview
Hi all,
Hope you and your laying (or lazy) ladies are all having a great winter!
My family and I are flying the coop to warmer climes for 10 days Feb. 7th - 17th, and I'm looking for someone in the neighbourhood (2nd x Templeton) who would be able to come by every couple days to collect eggs, top-up food & water, and scoop poop a few times. On offer are macadamia nuts, or wine or beer, or home-canned fruit/pickles or other negotiated deal :-)
Let me know if anyone is available to help out! I'd be happy to return the favour sometime, too. That's what neighbours are for, right? :-)
Cheers,
-Kristi

Hey Kristi,
We have had some neighbourhood kids (with mama's help) caring for our chickens when travelling. The LOVE it! When we came home in December there were 8 kids in the backyard chasing the chickens and laughing. They did a good job and were excited to look for eggs everyday. So that's an idea....we paid them $40 dollars as well, for 10 days.
If you don't end up with anyone, let me know. Kir and I can walk over a few times and check on them. Refill water and food, etc.
Hopefully see you on Wedneday!
