K-F-C Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I will be getting my cube delivered on Tuesday and will hopefully be able to pick up another two hens to go with the two Pepperpot's that Omlet will be delivering... I am wondering what is the best way to transport them? I have a cat box... is this suitable? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A cat box is fine. Take a cloth that you can cover it with as they are likely to be less stressed in the dark. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*mummy_hen* Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 A cat box is perfect really. Otherwise a suitably sized cardboard box with air holes works just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I used a card board box the first time I got my girls and the second time a cat box, they were fine both times. good luck with your new girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I was at the Yorkshire Show on Thursday and only a few poultry people had 'proper' chook transport boxes (the wood ones) most - particularly the old timers - had cardboard boxes with natty little twine handles and holes cut in! if you think about it they're very elf'n safety conscious as you can easily dispose of them and any foreign travelling companions afterwards.
