sgregson Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone had any advice/tips on what will make moving house for the chickens easy. The reality of is it that we probably won't get to the new property (only about 1 mile away) until around lunchtime. I've got a very large cat carrier that I plan on transporting them in or will they be better off in a cardboard box? I basically need to work out a plan of attack for the day! Any advice/tips would be most welcomed! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 If you put the chooks in a cardboard box with some air holes they could stay in there all day provided that they have fed and drunk in the morning The benefit of a box over a cat carrier is that they go dozy in the dark and will happily sit in a box all day Needless to say transport them in the car and take the box out as quickly as you can the other end as cars get so hot, as long as the box is placed in a fox proof place (shed or garage for example) they will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrambledhead Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hello, I am moving house in a week and the lady I'm buying from has kindly agreed to let me bring my chickens and Eglu over the day before so I don't have to worry about them on the day, perhaps your vendor might be happy to do the same? Good luck with the move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
