Hello everyone! I just wanted to offer my services on here.
I am starting my own transporting business and I would love to help out the breeders on here. There are many transporters out there, so I am trying to get my name out there too. I travel A LOT and never mind a long drive.
My...
Hello everyone! I am transporting birds/small animals on August 9th-11th. It's too hot to ship birds via the post office, but I have air conditioned spots available! Give your birds the star treatment!
The trip starts in Nashville, TN and ends in Iowa City, IA. Then from Iowa City back to...
Good morning, afternoon and evening everyone.
This weekend I am finally going to pick up my first little flock of 10 coturnix quail - all laying age hens. They're going into a brand new aviary and I have no other quail, so it will be all theirs.
I have a couple of questions about how best to...
Hi everyone :)
My partner and I are relocating in December from Cairns, QLD to South Australia (about 2,600km). We have 6 hens, all around 2-3 years of age, who we love dearly and will definitely be bringing with us!
I was wondering if anyone else here has transported their chickens similar...
Hello everyone! 🐥
We currently have four sweet Bielefelder hens that we’ve raised since chicks. We have offered to adopt three Red Sex Link hens (these ones are Rhode Island Red / White Leghorn) from a friend who has too many eggs to manage. They are healthy, about 1.5 years old, which I know is...
Hi all, I'm anxious because I need to take my 2 y/o GLW to the vet tomorrow afternoon. She has double bumblefoot that hasn't responded to my care and recently started laying soft shelled eggs. On top of this, she overheats and gets stressed very easily (panting/wings held out)--I'm talking she...
Hi there everyone,
I am looking for some advice on how to possibly sedate our 2 full grown emus, in order to load them into a trailer that will be taking them across the country. I have a call in with a vet, but wondered more about how to best administer the medicine and if anyone has any...
Hello everybody! This is my first post on the site and also my first question:
I am planning to buy a mother hen with already hatched chicks, the problem is that I don't know how they will react to their transport. I am not so concerned about keeping the chicks warm - they should stay warm with...
Hello all! We are hoping to move our coop across the yard, about a 40 ft. distance. Unfortunately we don't have access to any machinery to assist us. It's 4'x6' and I'm guessing it weighs around 600lb. Does anyone have any experience/advice for moving a raised coop? I have attached a photo of...
Today there was a fire about a mile from our house, "as the crow flies". It got me thinking about an emergency evacuation plan. I have added lots of animals in the last year and I would not be able to transport them all if I had to "bug out" today.
What are things that you need to do to get ready?
hello I have fallen in love with an interstate bird I am in Perth Australia and she is in Brisbane.
Has anyone transported a 10 week hen how did it go who did you use and what was the paperwork for quarantine I hear it is hard to get approvals is this true?
Thank you :)
Hi! I'm new to the site and looking for advice. I'm moving out of state and need pointers on how to safely transport button quail. It's at least a 10 hour drive.
I've read on a prior post about putting them in a bag or a dark enclosure. But it seems to me that for such a long drive they'll need...
