Eggy Bread Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ok, so I'm going to stay with my parents for a long weekend next week and plan to take the girls with me, is it ok to transport them in the eglu itself or do I need to put them in something else? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I would put them in a large cardboard box with air holes in. You could always put the roosting bars in with some straw to make them comfy. travel scrabble is always popular with ours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggy Bread Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks for the advice, do you put anything over the top, mine would jump straight out?? I'm sure they would much prefer to help drive than sit in the boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yes...put a lid on the box....with air holes. They will go into drowsy mode once they are in the boxes so don't worry about them leaping about ....as long as there is a lid over them!

SarahJo Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Pet carrier, or box - hay/shavings and dark are all thats required. If a long journey access to water would be ideal. Make sure air holes, and if in a pet carrier, cover with a blanket, to make a bit darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 when we got our chooks we used our cat box. they just sat down and chilled out for the journey. the handle was really useful so we didnt get pecked or worry about dropping them there was another person at farm where we got our chookies from, and he looked quite envious at out boxes and asked if his box would be strong enough - im sure that it was fine, but he seemed a bit worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
