Short term caretaker position at farm near Farm Sanctuary

[Guest guest]

We are looking for a person or couple to care for several thousand quail

that have been rescued from a slaughterhouse during a humane enforcement

action. There is a farm next to Farm Sanctuary in Orland that is willing

to provide a barn and space for the quail as well as caretaker quarters for

the person or persons looking after the birds. Ideally, this is a position

for a couple whose dream job it is to work full time caring for rescued

farm animals. The ideal caretaker will have had some experience caring for

chickens or turkeys as the proper care for this many quail is

similar. Responsibilities will include feeding the quail twice a day,

ensuring that water is available for the birds, cleaning the barn and

providing fresh bedding, and generally looking after the birds to make sure

they are healthy. The position would require living full time on the farm

at least through spring/early summer. The cost of seizing this many

animals and providing veterinary care form them has seriously drained our

resources, but we will provide food and housing and a stipend to cover

living expenses for the person or persons taking on the position.
