Carr fire: Need temp housing for 14 hens

[ldyshrk]

A friend is in the Carr fire zone in Northern CA (Redding) and may need to find temporary housing for her 14 hens. Anyone in Redding, CA have an extra coop/enclosure?

Hi there, I live near Valley Springs (literally Burson, CA). We actually have moderate sized coop with my hens and a small coop with 4 cockerels. I can move the cockerels, and they could borrow the small coop till the fire calms? It isn't the most sophisticated coop, but it's about 5'wide x 10'long....

Correction, it's not really a coop, but a run with a coop in the middle. Fourteen hens would be pushing it's limits, but I think if necessary it would work for a short time. Here's a couple photos ... Fingers crossed that the fire leaves before it reaches your friends I'm on here all the time lol, send me a pm if you still need space...

Thank you everyone for your responses. They are currently at Haven Humane Society, although it sounds like they are being evacuated themselves.
