Animal Chore Schedule
Roles are delegated by the team
No one takes on an animal-care role without first talking to the team lead. See Animal Care Roles for how this works.
Daily
| Time | Task | Animals |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | Open poultry coop | Chickens, ducks |
| Morning | Quick health scan, count | All |
| Morning | Feed + check-in with LGDs | Guardian dogs |
| 11:00 AM | Cleaning round + water + hay check | Alpacas |
| Throughout day | Egg collection | Chickens |
| Throughout day | Refresh water as needed | All |
| Evening | Feed LGDs (2nd or 3rd meal) | Guardian dogs |
| 8:00 PM | Cleaning round + water + hay check | Alpacas |
| Dusk | Close poultry coop | Chickens, ducks |
Karma yoga approach
If you notice it, nurture it. Anyone can feed alpacas, change water, fluff bedding at any time. The 11 AM and 8 PM cleanings are the structured baseline.
Weekly
- Deep clean stables / coop
- Check fences, electric fence (verify status)
- Restock feed, hay, supplies
- Note observations / changes in shared chat
Periodic (per animal)
See:
- Alpaca periodic care
- Horse periodic care
- Poultry: ongoing dusting/treatment + seasonal coop deep clean
Coordination
- Share updates in the group chat — who did what, when.
- Flag anything unusual: unusual behavior, missing eggs, predator signs, fence issues.
- If you’ll miss a cleaning round, give notice so someone else can cover.
