[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get the farm and the chickens but don’t do the sheep until you’ve been there for four years. [/quote] This. We house sit for some good friends in the Shenandoah Valley each spring when they go out of town. It involves taking care of their dog and chickens. The chickens are a PITA -- we clean their coop, feed them, fill their water, and get the eggs in the morning, and then pretty much repeat in the evening. Twice a day they get minced fruit and veggies too. They walk around all day pecking at the ground. The sh!t all over everything, so the decks have to be sprayed off with a hose every day. One day we had to get a huge black snake out of the coop -- the chickens were out roaming around and we hadn't gathered the eggs yet and this 5-6 foot snake was feasting on the eggs. Chickens are more work than you might expect, and they can't just be left. [/quote]
