Egluntyne Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Tell him to log on and ask questions if he is struggling. As long as they are fed and watered and checked daily and kept safe from pedators they should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 If your brother is going to clean out the cube during his chickensitting duties, I would take him through your routine before you go. As Eglintine said, tell him to come on here if he gets confused I am sure it will be fine. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve. Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Give him a schedule of what to do .... printed out on a day by day basis. He has to sign each one off ... as he does them ... and arrange a good reward of money at the end if all the hens are alive, fed, watered, eggs have been removed and the run in a reasonable situation. Without an incentive -like most teenagers he will forget as soon as you walk out the door. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
