Congratulations on your move! We moved to a new home with our flock about a year ago and I think they actually liked their new coop better than the one at our old house. We did not transport our old coop and just build a new one at our new home. We just ensured they had enough space and a shelter and of course feed and water and they were fine. They were happy since the new coop still had grass on the run. We transported them in cages and moved them in the day time so they could explore their new space.

Do older chickens get stressed from travel like little chicks?

I show my birds and as long as they are in a comfortable confinement I find they travel fine. I am new to showing and my farthest show was three hours away this last weekend. All the birds we took did fine and I purchased some young pullets while I was there and they did well in a small pet carrier on the way home. It helps to keep it dark while travelling to keep them calm. Cardboard boxes or plastic totes with holes work well. I often use pet carriers since I always have them handy plus they have handles.

My husband surprised me with two new show ducks for Christmas yesterday and they were shipped via two day priority. They had a special box for shipping adult birds and they did not seem stressed at all when they arrived. I'll attach pics I took of their box and the inside. It was my first shipping experience and I was pleased. The birds arrived happy and healthy.

I have not experienced that either so I am not much help there. I'll see if I can tag someone that may be more help. Good luck!

Chickens hate change...Lock them in the new Coop and run for a week..Egg production will drop or stop..They should do fine once settled..
