Hello all,
We are about to go on a two plus week vacation to an island on the NC coast. We abhor the thought of making someone take care of our girls, we are so careful with them, and wouldn't want to ask anyone to take on such a responsibility. I think we have the transporting part figured out, but we want to ask opinions about potential disease exposure. There are no poultry farms in the area, however the wild bird population is huge. Any advise on why we shouldn't take them? Any thoughts on anything we may have overlooked? Will the flock be stressed out by a 6 hour trip and then a return? I know people transport chickens all the time, but any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
