Jill
We have a small 3 bed home on a 6ha lifestyle block, half an hour south of Hastings, and we're looking for someone to feed our 50-60 chickens, 8 ducks and 120 geese, and collect eggs while we're away. The geese are pretty self sufficient and we feed them corn each day to keep them friendly. They're not scary geese at all! The chickens are free range and there are 4 feeders that need to be topped up daily. We also have a few Wiltshire sheep and 5 steers that are self sufficient.
We are glad we didn't have to count them - the 80 or was it 90 geese, chickens, and ducks? The gumboots definitely helped. It was enjoyable feeding them all on a nightly basis. Finding and collecting chicken eggs was a treasure hunt. The house was homely, bed comfortable, shower hot and internet totally fine for us to work with. Jill was an excellent communicator..
I had the pleasure of house sitting for Jill and Kevin for 5 weeks and couldn’t have asked for anything more. The chickens & geese were easy maintenance and friendly (providing lots of delicious eggs) house was lovely and cosy and has everything you would need, lovely peaceful location. Detailed instructions were left and communication before and during was great if I had any questions. Would be more than happy to housesit again.
Care for someone else's pets, go for walks in a brand new place... Surprise yourself and expand your horizons.
