Those of you that live in wildfire prone areas, when would you evacuate your chickens due to wildfire smoke? I live about 6 miles from a fire that is burning at roughly 10,000 acres and growing. The air quality is quickly diminishing we are in the path of the smoke which has now gotten bad enough that we likely won't stay home tonight even though we are technically not under mandatory evacuation yet. 5 miles of visibility is an often quoted number as being safe to stay in the area and this morning we were down to about 1 mile visibility. All of the wild/native birds have already left the area. Will my chickens and ducks be ok? How do I know when they are not ok? What would help you determine whether they should stay or go? They are outdoors in it 24/7. I can't be outdoors in it more than 5 minutes. Today is the first day I am genuinely concerned about the smoke. I can probably take them to a friend's home with land (like 70 acres give or take), but there is not a secure fenced area, they'd be free range at a brand new place for the first time in their lives and subject to predators, so this is really a last resort solution.
