It's inevitable.
Sometimes you need to go away and sometimes you just want to go away.
When you have chickens (or other animals), a little planning is needed before you pack those bags.
If you go away for a day trip, a friend or neighbor can minimally take care of your animals.
If gone for longer periods of time, we hire farm sitters.
I entice them with food, pay, and a list.

We hire farm sitters. We have a couple of good ones!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Hold on to the good ones.
DeleteThat sounds like a great job! Sign me up! ;0D
ReplyDeleteDaisy,
DeleteYou can farm sit anytime ;-)
I have a neighbor who has animals who comes over and watches our animals when we have to leave. I didn't know there were such a thing as farm sitters, but that sounds like a wonderful resource if you have a lot of animals!
ReplyDeleteThe first time we hired someone, I jokingly called them a 'farm sitter', but after some research I found that it is a true title. Kind of like baby sitter or house sitter...
