    Advice How To Safely Transport Chicks Long Distances?

    Tomorrow I'm getting two baby silkies, unfortunately it's a three hour drive down to where they are. Can anyone tell me how I can keep them warm on the drive back? They'll be under a week old, and I'm pretty concerned that it'll stress them out to much. Does anyone have any advice for me?
