4 acre block in Seaham area (45 mins from newcastle, 30 mins from Maitland).
We have 1 elderly cat, a pig, and a chicken (cat indoors, others outside). Main priority is ensuring there is adequate water for animals and to spray down the pig in hot weather. Animals need to be fed at least twice a day, and watered as needed (likely 3 - 4 times a day in hot weather.
Pets & farm animals
Tucker (pig) - a large 'mini' pig. He grazes or sleeps for most of the day, and battles in the heat. Needs to be sprayed down with water, have constant access to cool water and the dam at all times. Eats foods scrapes (No Meat).
Mizzen (cat) - An elderly tonkanese. She should be fed as many times a day as possible. If she eats her days ration all at once, she throws up. Usually she is fed twice to three times a day. Still enjoys a play and galavant around the house or just a snuggle.
Chook (chicken) - spends most of her time with the pig. Doesnt seem to lay any eggs anymore. Chickens wont drink hot water, so needs to have constant access to cool water. Enjoys the food scraps too.
House Tasks
- Feed animals
- water animals
- optional water garden (we catch our shower water for this, buckets provided. But we are happy for you to use the town water for this and not worry about bucketting water)
- collect post
- make judgment calls based on the weather (eg, if very hot, we may ask you to turn the aircon on for the animals in 1 room of the house).
