Over winter break, I hope to make some money by offering "chicken sitting" for chicken owners in the area. I live in a rather tight suburb in the Bay Area, and many people around here keep small backyard flocks.
Basic services would include maintaining feed and water and basic coop maintenance, such as cleaning off the poop board or sweeping the floor.
I was thinking maybe $5 per hour of supervised free range? Maybe the same price to get the bedding changed.
I don't know how much to charge. Is $20 a week okay, or am I way over/under pricing it? My only means of transportation is a bike, so I wouldn't be able to go more than, say, 1.5 miles to a certain house.
Thanks for any input!
