Hello!
I am getting 6 rare breed chicks in early jan and I am getting a bit concerned about transporting them. They will be about 2-3 weeks when I get them. And it is probably a 3-4 hr drive. Is this way to far for these babies to go when they are so little? I am also worried about them going from heat, then out of heat (on the drive) then back into heat when they get to my house.
What should I do? Wait till they are older? I want to do whatever I can to make sure they will be ok.
1 more thing, this breeder is hatching these specially for me, and I don't want to upset her by asking to get them a bit older, for the second time.
Help!
