Hi All,
I am going to be traveling for work next year for anywhere from 3-7 months. I need someone to watch my chickens (10 hens) on their property. I will pay $20/week plus supply all of their food and bedding. I know $20 sounds low, but it may end up being around $560. They are a very healthy, disease free flock. Also very pretty if you ask me (two calendar ladies: 2019 & 2021!). They are a non aggressive flock that all get along and free range well.
I am willing to transport their coop or to have them live in your barn. I am seeing this as an easy way for someone with a relatively large flock to make a bit of money each week or breed if they wish OR for a nice test for someone to see if the chicken keeping lifestyle is right for them.
Thank you all so much for your help and advice!
They are all laying:
3 year olds: 2 lavender Orpingtons
2 year olds: 1 White French Marans, 1 silver laced Wyandotte, 1 CCLB
Pullets: 1 Welsummer, 1 Speckled Sussex, 3 golden laced sebright bantams.
@aart @DobieClose I have seen that you all are close to me - do you know of anyone who may want extra chickens for a while?
