Flock Sitting MN

We've gotten to hang out and care for this flock of 3 in Saint Paul (Rosie, Mili Rose, and Danielle) and watched them grow up as inside chickens and make the big transition to outdoor chickens. It's been fun to see their personalities and socialization develop!

Another nice week of spring weather for our May 'Duck Encounters'!

To be fair, in the ducks' opinion, "nice weather" includes everything from cool, sunny days to day-long rain storms. Basically, every day is a great day to be a duck!

Starting off the first weekend in May with nice weather and some duck encounters. Pele and Koloa are our newest flock members and now know that blankets + visitors = treats.

Flock Sitting MN is hosting a Backyard Fowl Class in-person on Saturday, May 30th at 12:30pm. This class satisfies the education requirement for Minneapolis and surrounding municipalities.

We are hosting the class outside at our home in Richfield and will cover a number of topics including biosecurity, city ordinances, predator-proofing, health/wellness, chicken/duck breeds (and flock dynamics), anatomy, feed, egg-related issues, costs, and a number of other topics. You will also have the chance to meet our flock of chickens and ducks, tour their coop and learn in a hands-on environment!

Class is from 12:30 - 2:30pm and costs $35.

We just got our calendar opened up for May duck encounters. We have slots open most Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month.

Our current flock is 5 ducks (Lefse, Gilly ,Chelan, Pele, Koloa) and 1 chicken (Esty). The visits consist of meeting the flock, petting/touching, giving treats, learning between wild/domestic ducks, boys/girls, and touring their coop and forts. It's a great opportunity to ask questions and get some fun pictures.

Bookings tend to be pretty evenly split between groups of just adults and families with kids, and all are welcome!
