I'm moving and taking the chickens? Tips and what I should do?

[ChxLadyMary]

Hello! I am moving in late August. The drive will most likely be 11 or 12 hours. I am planning on transporting them in large plastic bins similar to the brooder they were in with air-holes and their usual bedding. I will also be offering them water in a dish everytime we stop. Does anybody see anything wrong with that or have any other tricks? Also, random side question, I have been looking for female polish chickens for a while. My Pet Chicken where I usually get them is sold out for the whole year. Does anyone know any other places I can get them? They must be sexed.

Do you have any links or websites where I can find this out

It depends; try asking your veterinarian, then there's the USDA site, and/ or the state sites where you are going.
