Padreug 7e5decb5bd Update alpaca names and add livestock guardian dogs
Correct alpaca names: Onyx (Onu), Flocon (Floco), and Sapphire (Sapphi)
with descriptions, ages, and herd roles. Add Anatolian Shepherd LGD
page covering duties, daily care, bloat prevention, and adolescent
play stage. Frame LGDs as gentle and approachable working dogs that
welcome guest socialization. Add prominent rule against uninvited
outside dogs with leash requirement for approved visiting dogs;
mirror in house rules.

Animal Chore Schedule

[!important] Roles are delegated by the team No one takes on an animal-care role without first talking to the team lead. See index#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 guardian-dogs Guardian dogs

[!tip] 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:

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.
