Those of you who own poultry (chooks, ducks or WHY) will know how hard it can be to get away even for a night or two.
Even if you have friends or family willing to feed and check on your birds, unless they are poultry people themselves, chances are they don't really understand what is involved in caring for your flock when you are away.
I have ducks, and as a result of having ducks, no longer have a social life, lol! (Or money!)
Anyway, I was thinking that there are probably other people out there who like me, find it hard to get away even for a night or two, as either they don't have anyone to look after their 'feather babies' or they know that a night or two away is going to be spent worrying about them, because the friend or family member who volunteered to look after them, doesn't really understand what that means!
So I would like to offer my services to care for your flock. Either on a paid basis, or on a 'trade swap' type arrangement for anyone who would be happy to care for my birds if I am away or out late, in return for me doing the same....
My main experience is with ducks, however I have cared for a friends chickens in her absence, and also 'hosted' some 'borrowed' broody chooks at my place while they raised some ducklings for me :-)
I am available to feed, clean, collect eggs, and check on your poultry while you are away, including things like keeping an eye out for any health issues, predators, social (pecking, over mating etc) and keeping an eye on any birds incubating, brooding or hatching young, making sure all birds are in their coop at night and alerting you of any problems.
My experience caring for my own flock of domestic and rescued ducks includes breeding, egg production, identifying and treating/first aid care for health issues such as bumble-foot, egg binding/vent prolapse, spraddle/splayed legs, etc. And of course catching birds, being pooped on and occasionally pecked by a broody etc.
If you need someone to look after your birds while you go away, whether that be for a day, or night, weekend or longer, text me on 020 406 41485 or check out my duck rescue facebook page at:
