They don’t look at all distressed.This is how I would evacuate ducks, geese, turkeys, and peafowl.
Oh I do feel for you and your birds!! Hopefully you can get back home soon. You might stop by your state thread and chat with your neighbors? https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/california-northern.25/ or depending on where you are, https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/california-southern.161/What a dilemma, to have to evacuate and not be able to! We almost had to leave our chickens behind. So far, we could have stayed with no fire closer than about a mile away. I can imagine the reactions of your chickens. Ours freaked out this morning when the garbage truck clattered up and down the street, and then freaked out again when the recycling truck came by. They're country girls.
It's about all you can do! We considered this in day 2, just turning everything loose in case fire threatened barns and such, we had the SUV all packed and would have taken the dogs, parrots and a few select chickens. Thankfully we all stayed and survived!We almost had to evacuate when a field a few miles away flared up. Our plan was to basically grab the three favorites and set everyone else loose (sounds aweful, but when you have almost 100 birds in 7 runs and some that just live free range, you can't pack in a day much less a few minutea)
Awww....dear Peas! Kathy have you ever had to evacuate like this?This is how I would evacuate ducks, geese, turkeys, and peafowl.
