An Oregon Woman has Found a Cottage Industry In her Town By Baby Sitting Chicken

Yes, you heard me right- you can now make a living
as a ‘Chicken Sitter.’ in Portland Oregon.
Chicken sitting has
become a very popular hubby that it has created a whole new job market. Linda
Walker is a proud chicken -sitter, and she’s reportedly getting calls to take
care of chickens in Portland. After her first chicken experience, she has
received over 20 calls back.
 “Just in my
neighborhood there’s got to be at least 20 households that have chickens,”
Linda Walker explains. “Your neighbor can take your cat or dog, but not a
whole lot of them know what to do with [chickens].” Walker gained her
chicken experience while working at a feed store last summer, so she knows her
onions when it comes to chicken sitting.”It was an intense experience and
I worked with people who really knew their stuff,” Walker told ABC News.
“I just thought it was neat, and I just kind of put it under my hat.”

After gaining
experience, she decided to quit the job, not because of lack of interest in
chickens, but to take up a new opportunity on her own. She is also reasonable
with her charges: “They’re beautiful and really funny and better than TV,
they’re fun to watch. And they have great eggs!”  Wow!! “They
are better than TV’ Seriously?
