Hello there!!!
I am going on vacation for 2 weeks and I am having the neighbor kids babysit our 6 hens. I want to give them money for it, but don't know how much I should give them.
They won't have to open or close the coop run door (automatic) so they would only have to collect the eggs (and keep), make sure they have enough water and food and scrape the poop of the poop board. So only one visit. Two if the weather is to hot!
There will be three kids that will take care of them, but not all at the same time. I was thinking of making a spread sheet, so they can initial their name, just so I now who checked on the chickens and then i would pay them per visit. How much would you give them? I am also open for any other ideas! What do you usually pay/do for your chicken babysitter?
Thank you!
