@fuzzi Thanks. It's covered with a clear tarp but we have used greenhouse plastic in the past.

I got back from my out-of-town trip, and found a foot of snow, driveway not plowed, chicken run roof and tractor shed not roof raked, chickens getting low on food and water, bird feeders empty . It's really hard to get good help.

Was someone supposed to be doing any of these things or weren't you able to find potentially good help?

That's really bad! Hope you get someone useful/ reliable next time!

@1muttsfan Oh no! I have had that happen before. I had someone who was supposed to come over and watched her on camera just fill the waterer and not fill the feed. She told me she did both. She did make sure to gather eggs, tho. Another time, I asked my neighbor's teen to let the birds out in the morning and they didn't come over. The birds were all locked in a hot coop when I got home in the afternoon. I don't trust anybody to take care of my birds when I'm gone, anymore. I hope they're all okay and you find someone good for next time.
