I recently started selling Silkie chicks and have a pretty big hatch coming up. I was thinking of taking them to a local swap. How should I keep them warm? I'm not sure what to expect. I haven't been to a swap in while and this would be my first time as a seller, so any tips would be appreciated.

Thank you
 
Is the swap met in a different climate than where the chickens live now?
 
No power available put 6 gallon jugs of boiling hot water in ice chest. Tent a jug with a towel so they can come in from the cold. Swap out jugs as they cool off. Out of jugs, go home.

No, but its starting to get a bit colder here and I'm not sure there will be electricity. I was thinking of taking week old chicks. I was wondering if there were any tricks to keeping them warm.
