Will this ikea box be enough?

Recommended Posts

One hen in each box should be OK for transporting them. Less chance of them getting hurt while travelling if they have less space to move around in. Make sure there are a few air holes and put some newspaper or straw at the bottom to make them comfortable.

 

Do you have far to travel from where you collect the hens to home? Some say it is less stressful if there are more than one hen in a box while travelling.

In a box with air vents------1 inch deep and 5 inches wide, with thick layer of hemcore your hens will not fight because it will be dark in the box. Also the engine noise will probably lull them to sleep. I have heard some say to put some pieces on melon in the box to stop the hens being thirsty.
