Feeding chickens
Hi there, we are going away for the first week of the upcoming school holidays and looking for someone to feed our 2 backyard chickens while we are gone. Is there anyone out there able to help with this? Could be a good way for a young one to earn a bit of holiday pocket money perhaps?
We will provide all the food required, and it only takes about 5mins a day. Plus you’d be welcome to keep the eggs they lay each day for that time too.
Please DM me for more details if you’re interested in helping us out
