In the emergency of a natural disaster where do you move your chickens?

I remember putting all my chickens I was going to take in a box, yes they were small enough to fit in there, and even though I only could take 7 I even took a blue frizzle cross bill rooster, be cause he was sweet. (He got taken by a hawk before he could breed so we don't have to go into that subject.)

Yeah. I went from 22 down to 8 over 6 months from predators

Where I didn't worry as much, we live in E. WA which is dry- that is where there were fires in WA, there was not fires in a rain forest, (okay sometimes but not often). But our area is so dry we don't have alot of trees or burnables, so if we did get a fire the chickens would be safer than in some areas, their area is all rocks.

They didn't have to go to New Mexico to film the moon landing they could have done it in our back yard.

No that was just for one day. And now we have a thunderstorm coming through with lightning

Hoping it brings rain & not dry lightening.

That is good news.

Yeah. But if we can get a cage for them and wrap them would that Be better

I would be concerned about the birds overheating. Is there anyone on the thread who has wrapped birds for transport during hot weather? If so, was overheating an issue for you?
