perhaps if you offer to do the same for another chicken keeper when they go away you might be ok - there are a few on here from Nottingham (although I do realise Nottingham is quite a big place - I lived there for 40 years  :D) somebody may be local to you.
Staffies are softer than you think.

I had the same problem. All the family going away and no one left to look after the chucks.

I searched around the internet to find local boardings but to no avail. In a desperate measure to find someone I emailed a local lady how sold chickens to enquire if she knew of anyone. Although she did not know of anyone or realized that there was a call for this service she asked me what chucks I had and then very kindly offered to look after them for me. We agreed on a weekly price and included the food. She now offers this service on her website.

I am not suggesting that all, if any chicken suppliers would be so kind but they well know of someone who can help.

Good Luck

Hi,

i may have a soloution for you.....
we bought our girls from heidi's happy hens, we were told that if we went on holiday they would take the hens back for us and look after them free of charge, i dont think they advertise a hen sitting service but if you said they had been recommended by a previous customer and did offer money for food and labour etc im sure they'd be happy to help you.
They have their own website and arent too far from you either - J1 m6.

Hope this helps :)
