phillyhill Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi we live in Swindon in Wiltshire. Would anyone be able to help with chicken sitting for a few days over Easter? We have one eglu with two hens, eggs usually supllied! We would be happy to return the favour if the distance is not too far and we are available (we don't go away very often!).

Martin B Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 There is someone not too far away, I think I'm not going to say a name but I may give them a prod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Have you thought about asking a nearby friend/neighbour. I'm sure you could find someone to oblige, if you try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannyCat Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi, I'm in Swindon I dont have room in the garden for another eglu (it's a small terraced house), but if your garden has rear access I dont mind popping by and sorting them out some food etc? I know it's not ideal, so it's cool if you get a better offer, but if not I'd be happy to help I'm in Gorsehill btw, but have a car Catherine x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannyCat Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hia Phillyhill has accepted my offer, but she may prefer to have someone look after them "full time" - maybe an email is in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hi Cannycat! They have picked up my PM, so there's no worry about sending an email. I am sure if they go with your offer, you will do a sterling job looking after the girls. Its great knowing we have willing chicken sitters so close by isn't it?
