Yeah, we are in a more rural-ish area so most chickens are not pets. Touch and go at times, we’ve lost a few. Very high maintenance, lots of worrying and even exhausting at times. This cold has been difficult for some but all are surviving it this far. Thanks for asking.

My sister runs a dialysis clinic and the struggles she has with her nurses and techs are real. And with all the HR bull c*** it is nearly impossible to discipline let alone fire them🤦It's really kinda sad tbo.

That's horrible. I have been home with kids for 11 yrs and wonder what I will do when it's time to find a career.

A bit late on my reply but I am very happy to know there are still honest and responsible young pet sitters. I was also this way. I did not like baby sitting so I was the go to for pet sitting. No matter what, I would always go. And I have pretty severe ADHD though I was only diagnosed 1.5 yrs...

Love this 💜 I was visiting my daughter. The sitter was a local 4th year vet student. And I agree with adult children stepping up. I am thankful for my son who drove over to care for them after he checked on them for me and saw the lack of food and water. He knows how much I love my...

She is a local person, 4th year vet student who graduated and once again, I paid her asking price and then some. Also, cameras are there for safety. We have one set up by the automatic door to watch them go out and make sure none are hanging out next to it before closing. The camera in the coop...

Fair enough. But in my area fresh eggs are a hot commodity. I figured she was happy to have an abundance instead of paying $6 dozen at a store or farmers market. I believe she pickled some and not sure what else. But also, whether she was planning to sell or keep, I agreed to her asking price...

I have 2 updates: First, said sitter got more chicks🤦 But, she also said she is moving so there is an upside. Second, my son found me a sitter! It's his really good friend's aunt. She moved here recently and when Andrew was telling her about my situation and what happened she was thrilled to...

Yeah, I would have assumed the parent would help also but I find that to be more rare these days. When my older kids, now 26 & 27 yes old parents would have at least checked in to see things were being done properly if not going every day. But with my youngest, 10 yrs old, parents are much...

No, I didn't. I asked her about the door but that is all. I am treating the flock for sneezing and worms. I believe they were just really stressed with the whole situation. But they are all happy, laying, eating and excitedly calling for me when the back door opens just like the normal lively...

Yep! Same here😂 but it was a chance to see the area I would like to move to. But, most importantly, to see my daughter for the first time in 8 months. I missed Thanksgiving, Christmas and her birthday. She is the first kid to move so far so it's been quite the adjustment. The door was kick out...

I do believe most people around here see chickens as "livestock". I get some really crazy looks when I talk about how much I love my chickens. And the shocked looks I get when they hear I bring my rooster inside and cuddle with him at night😂😂 even my vet rolls her eyes and my friends make fun of...

Oh wow! I'm paying $30/day (and supplying food of course) for boarding a 160# mastiff and 80# mutt! Definitely has to do with location.

I did confirmed it after I noticed her lack of care. I know someone at the university that could. She is actually graduating this month 🤷

I live about 3 minutes from the vet school and maybe 7 minutes, in traffic, from her home. I put a post on our local chicken keepers fb page. She jumped right on it! She has chickens of her own also. Yeah, I think I'll be going that route next time. Thank you.

I'm so upset. I went on vacation to visit my daughter who I've not seen since she moved last summer. I was gone 9 days. Boarded dogs and found a chicken sitter. Bonus! She is a 4th year vet student! Great! Or so I thought. We have cameras, which I informed her of their locations. Her jobs...
