Poultry & Bird Care

Dependable Care for Your Flock While You're Away

From a few backyard chickens to a larger mixed flock, poultry have daily routines that still need attention when work, travel, or changing schedules take you away.

Paws & Pasture Care by Sharon provides on-site poultry and farm bird care at your home, homestead, or farm, following the feeding, watering, coop, and flock routines you've already established.

Birds I Care For

Poultry & Farm Bird Care may include:

• Chickens

• Ducks

• Geese

• Turkeys

• Guinea fowl

• Peafowl

• Other appropriate domestic farm or poultry birds

Have a different type of farm bird? Tell me about your flock when requesting your quote so I can determine whether their care can be accommodated.

Daily Flock Care

Depending on your birds and setup, visits may include:

• Feeding

• Fresh water and water checks

• Opening and securing coops

• Letting birds into designated outdoor areas

• Returning birds to secure areas when appropriate

• Egg collection

• Basic nesting-area or coop cleanup associated with care

• Owner-directed supplements

• General visual wellness observations

• Checking agreed-upon gates, doors, and latches

• Following established seasonal routines

Your normal care instructions are reviewed before service begins.

Backyard Flocks & Hobby Farms

You don't need a large farm to need reliable poultry care.

Backyard chickens, ducks, and small hobby flocks still require consistent feeding, water, secure housing, and daily attention when their owners are away.

If poultry are the only animals requiring care, visits can be arranged specifically around your flock without requiring a larger farm-sitting service.

Mixed Flocks

Different birds don't necessarily follow the same routine.

Chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and other farm birds may have different feed, water, housing, turnout, and nighttime requirements.

We'll review how your flock is normally managed so care can follow the system your birds already know.

Security Matters

Predator protection and enclosure security are an important part of poultry care.

I'll follow your established procedures for coops, gates, runs, doors, and latches during scheduled visits.

Please disclose known predator concerns, escape-prone birds, aggressive birds, difficult flock behavior, or enclosure issues that could affect safe care.

Seasonal Considerations

Poultry routines can change with the seasons.

Hot weather may require additional attention to water, while colder conditions can affect water sources and normal coop routines.

I'll follow the seasonal care procedures you've established for your flock and discuss any special instructions before service begins.

Part of a Larger Farm?

If your property also includes horses, goats, sheep, pigs, farm dogs, barn cats, or other animals, tell me about everyone when requesting your quote.

When several types of animals require coordinated care, Barn & Farm Sitting may be the better option for the property as a whole.

Custom Care for Your Flock

Poultry & Farm Bird Care is custom quoted based on factors such as:

• Number and type of birds

• Number and length of visits

• Feeding and watering requirements

• Coop, run, and enclosure responsibilities

• Seasonal care requirements

• Size and complexity of the flock

• Travel distance

• Length and frequency of service

Tell Me About Your Flock

I'll help determine the appropriate care arrangement for your flock and property.
