The most hands-on and direct work with our sanctuary is done though helping to ensure our chickens’ coops are clean and tidy! These chores might not be glamorous, but you’ll be sure to win over the hearts of our flock with your dedication. Tasks include: Scooping out pine shavings and replacing with clean bedding. Cleaning feed and water bowls. Dusting and vacuuming crevices. Wiping down walls. And, of course, offering special treats to the chickens!
Volunteer instructions
1. Volunteers over 14 years old are welcome to volunteer at the sanctuary solo - any younger and just make sure you have a parent with you! 2. We' re the first house on the left! When you arrive, you can park in the semi-circle driveway. We'll be expecting you and will greet you at your car 🙂 When you arrive you ’ll be asked to spray the bottom of your shoes 3. Please wear closed-toe shoes! The chickens are enamoured with toe nails... especially painted ones, and might decide you' re for snacking! To make the most of your visit we recommend preparing for the country with the following: Wear sunscreen & bring a water bottle! 4. We ask that you do not bring animal products and by-products (i.e. eggs, milk, cheese) our of respect for the residents who call Secondhand Stories their home.
