Caring for Chickens when on vacation

[MotherofHens5819]

So we are going to be gone a week at the end of August and I am wondering if there was any advice on finding someone who could come and check on them sometime during that week to make sure they are cool and otherwise make sure they are doing okay? I live in the Bensalem Feasterville area i n Pennsylvania.

any family or friends that might be willing to help? you could also post in maybe a local facebook group or such, maybe even offer to pay if need be

My whole family is going lol otherwise I would ask my mom. I am going to ask my neighbor but I wasn’t sure if there was maybe like an official group I could employ for a day or two lol you know what I mean ?

I was recently on vacation for five days and got a friend to open the bird door and to refill their food and water. He got paid

Sounds like a contractor

My neighbor has agreed and her daughters will help. I’ll pay them, I just am concerned with heat and making sure they are cool. Also furiously working on integrating the babies with the pullets so it’s been a crazy 2 months already and time is flying.
