Hi everyone! I am keeping chickens for an elementary school's garden. I am "the chicken manager", which is a hilarious title! The 10 chicks have spent the past month brooding in my house and they just moved to the coop at the school. I will be taking care of them on weekdays, when I am at work, but volunteers eventually will take over weekend and holiday care. I'll be present on for the first few of every volunteer's visits until the volunteer feels comfortable doing it themselves.
I am creating a checklist for volunteers, a list of things that they have to take care of everyday. It will hang inside the coop for each volunteer to check and make any notes on. Right now the list is pretty short: Make sure the feeders and waterers are full, check for any chickens that seem sick, count to make sure all ten are accounted for. Eventually volunteers will add egg collection to their list.
Is there anything else I'm just not thinking of?! THANKS everyone!
