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!
