UPDATE: First of all, I want to give credit for those who started a thread like this back in 2009

okiron, who started this thread linked here ---------------------> https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=189553 and to desertgirl for thinking of the idea
big_smile.png
I didn't see that thread until after I started this one so I have sent PMs in hopes they are still around so we can maybe put the two together somehow

She hasn't been on for a few months so hope to hear from her soon

2nd: If you need a response right away just email me @ [email protected] I check my email almost every day. Just put *CHICKENSITTING* in the subject line and I will read IT before any other email

I have seen a lot of peeps looking for someone to sit for their flock while they go on vacation and I think this thread is a wonderful idea for those in need of a sitter. If you are able to chicken sit you can leave your name below with the area where you are from
big_smile.png
Payment and other info can be shared through PM's once someone agrees to sit for you
big_smile.png
I would suggest meeting and having a "meet at my place" date before leaving on vacation of course
big_smile.png



So lets get started
big_smile.png
Let me add your name to our thread and help out a fellow BYCer so they can enjoy their vacation
big_smile.png
Please leave your info below with the area and how long you are willing to sit for. I started in the WI thread

This is a great idea I have put posters around but nobody has responded to it. I love chickens and would love to meet some people around us who love and care for their chickens just as much as we do.

This is a wonderful idea!!!!

I would be willing to chicken sit. I am in Conrad Montana but would be willing to drive a ways if need be. I normally don't require a sitter. We leave about once every 2 years and our neibors generally do iy but you just never know, there may be a time. I hope to see more Montanas add to this list!
 
I am willing to be a chicken sitter!

Defiance or O'Fallon, MO vicinity. And of course anyone in the surrounding areas are welcome to PM me and see if I can help them out.

This is a great idea! I've been wondering what we were going to do if/when we ever get to go on a vacation longer than a weekend!
