moving

I don't know which thread to post this under, I am possibly getting kicked out with only a few days notice and have to possibly move 12 hours away, to my parents for temporary, a family member says they'll house and take the chickens and build a coop ( I can't take the coops but I will be...

I'm new here, so I'll try to keep it brief in a hello and please help me post! I have NO idea how we are going to make our new house's yard work for our animals. I had chickens for years as a child and loved caring for them. We finally got 6 baby Brahmas, quickly reduced to 5 - my favorite did...

My family has been considering moving across the country. I'm in support, except for the difficulty of moving the chickens. They're all hens, most are normal sized and some are bantams. I know you can put them in crates of about 4 each and they'll be fine enough, but my issue is with temporary...

Hey y’all, so as a few of you probably know, I’m moving soon. Well I won’t be able to move into the house myself until Saturday because of house work, and it’s Thursday night here now. Well I need to get hay for the horses Saturday morning before we move, and I won’t have another chance to move...

I’m moving in two weeks 300 mi away from my current location(same state). I have two hens that have gone broody. I’d love to hatch some more chicks this year but with me moving I’m not sure how to go about it. Should I just let it be and hope they are still broody after the move or throw some...

Willkommen Freunde!! 👋 Matty here! Irl I am going to be moving to Germany because my dad is going (back) into the army as a chaplain! I’ll post pics, narrate, talk about travels, or just chat here with whoever’s willing to listen to me ramble :p. ALSO- there’s going to be a whole ‘ordeal’ with...

Okay I know this is a chicken forum not a cat forum but I like y’all so I figured I’d ask here. Sorry in advance for the novel 🤣🙈 But have any of y’all ever moved a cat? Particularly an old lady cat? How do you help them adjust or whatever? We are moving veryyy soon and I’m really worried...

My husband and I found our dream farm and bought it. It's 10 acres with a cute house and barn and a natural stream running through it. So much better than our 1.85 acre home that's all mountain and rock. Next week is the big move and I want to take my 10 pet ducks with me in the least stressful...

Hi all, A month ago I moved from hot, dry Sacramento to the Portland area. I, a Seattle native, am delighted at the weather change. My five chickens, not so much. This is the first time in their lives that they've had reliably wet, cooler temps. The first two weeks we were here, my focus was...

We might be moving soon! I'm pretty excited. But I'm worried about how we'll move the chickens. The house we're looking into is 3 1/2 to 4 hours away. I can probably bring one coop, and we can build another there. I will definitely be downsizing my flock, hopefully to under 10 chickens. Any...

As per my previous thread, I'm getting my turkey tom a new mate. But it's a surprisingly hard thing to do, since a LOT of farms in my area stopped raising them due to covid. Recently I've found someone who's willing to part with a hen, but it's a 3-4 year old. Can a hen of such an advanced age...

Me and my family are moving from Hawaii to Nevada and we are very attached to are two chickens we love them very dearly and we are having trouble finding a airlines that will help transport are chickens with us any information on airlines that will ship are chickens is very appreciated...

I have two female Pekin ducks. I got them as ducklings in 2019. I absolutely love them and I don't want to give them up unfortunately I'm moving somewhere I can't take them. I also would worry about moving them over state lines and a long drive even if I could. One is healthy. The other has some...

In need of resources to park my 32' motorhome along the way moving from AZ to Arkansas. Going the northern route up the 40 sometime in September/October and have to stop along the way to sleep. Here's my dilemma: My roo is the best watchdog I've ever had so he will probably crow at every new...

I’m moving across country, literally. I’m taking 7 hens with me, but I’m taking my moving stuff too. The hens are all important. I have a 4x4x1 cage I'm taking for them, but their gonna be in the wind, they need to be in an enclosed ventilated secure spot. I was thinking to put cardboard on the...

Not sure if this has already been asked but I cant seem to find the answer, or maybe not searching correctly.. My hen just hatched 4 babies and 6 eggs still remained under her but still had a week (+/-) to go. She sat on them a day or two after the four hatched but yesterday I went in and the...

Hey everyone I just found out my landlord has decided to not renew leases for any of their properties which means I’ll be moving out by mid June. I have to move in with family thanks to covid killing my job there’s no way I can save up for a deposit for a new place. Anyways with that being said...

We are planning on moving (hopefully) in the coming months and we have a GIANT chicken coop! I believe the dimensions are something like 7ft long by 4ft wide. It’s off the ground and has 4 legs that prop it up. I mean this thing is SOLID. I would say this thing weighs about 800 lbs. We have it...

Hello, we just received 10 chickens from @Jmiller89 and they do not seem to have handled the move very well, in regard to egglaying, with a current grand total of 1 egg, so far, in 2 weeks. How long should it take them to get over the move? I know that chickens generally lay less in the...

Looking for some guidance... I have 18 quackers and I'm looking at moving about 9 hours away. Nothing is said and done but I want to be prepared with whatever I need should things happen as I hope. My ducks have never been particularly happy to be wrapped, however it's winter and I think they'd...
