Questions people ask
Can my teenager take care of a neighbor's chickens?
Chicken sitting is a gentle first job for a responsible teen with a parent's OK. A parent should go along the first time to be sure they can manage the latches and the goats.
What do I do with the eggs?
Agree up front. Some owners let the sitter keep them as a thank-you; others want them collected, dated and put in the fridge.
What if a chicken dies while I'm sitting?
It happens, even with good care. Tell the owner right away, and ask before the trip what they would like done.
