The Chicken Sitter: The latest indulgence for L.A. urban gardeners | News Oxerjen

First there was the dog walker.

Then came doggie day care and pet cams.

And now? The chicken sitter.

After spotting a sign that someone posted looking for a chicken sitter, Anna Goeser established Easy Acres Chicken Sitting. Now, when urban farmers and chicken lovers go out of town, they can have more confidence in the idea that their flock is taken care of.

Having had her own chickens for more than 15 years, Goeser has the most important job skill down: Chickens don’t scare her. “You can’t imagine how many people are afraid of chickens,” she says. “People are really freaked out by them. Over the years I’ve heard so many stories from people who were chased by chickens. It is hard to find people to look after them when you go out of town.”
