Hi Folks,
DH and I know we will eventually be moving back home (to KY) from NC where we are now. It might be a year two, but it will eventually happen (we have been in NC for 6 years). Anyway, we desperately want to take our flock of 9 dominique chickens (might be more later) with us but aren't sure how the logistics of moving them across state lines for an 8 hour trip would work out. Has anyone done this before? Does it stress the birds out too much? Any regulations against it?
We understand we would have to have a coop and pen probably already set up when we got to whereever we were moving and immediately unload the chickens. DH doesn't think this is doable on a long trip, wonders how we would transport them, etc. Any tips or advice or do we have to start over with a new flock (or only take one or two?)
