Coop Cleaning Prices

[gladraffe]

Hi - my friend recently got a backyard coop with a dozen chickens. She does not have the time to clean the coop and have asked if I would do it if she pays me. She wants it cleaned 2x/month. How much do you think I should charge her if I were to take up on her offer? She would have all the supplies - I would just be the labor.

I have a coop in my backyard with 5 chickens. I've read there are biosecurity concerns. Is there any other concerns I should consider?

Thanks in advance!

I'd ask how long it takes to clean the coop and charge based on that while making sure you don't get under minimum wage and things like travel costs are covered.

Biosecurity is the biggest concern. Don't use any of the same clothes or tools that you use in your own coop and take a shower before and after.

$50 + as many eggs as can be taken.
