Moving across country taking chickens with me 2500 miles...

[SacredWaves]

I guess you youngsters never rode in the back of a pickup?

I rode in the back... Not for 2500 miles but, I rode there. I'm not a chicken either. I believe there is a difference. I understood what was happening. Just my thoughts.

re-homing really isn't a bad thing. Consider the age of the chickens and how many years they have left to live anyway. Starting new wouldn't be a terrible thing. And somebody local could be good to them.

I agree, if the only option is strapped to a flat bed, your birds are WAY better off being re homed. It would be the responsible thing to do.

This has become an interesting thread haha, thanks y’all for all the help. I appreciate all of you even if I didn’t like it when I heard it. This gave me some things to think about

Glad we could help! Hopefully you find a way to keep them out of the wind, and everything works out for you.

Sounds like near Corinth. I grew up in Mississippi and you are heading into hot and humid country. By the time you get here it will be in the 90's with high humidity. Your chickens will be very vulnerable to heat stroke. I live only about an hour or so away in Alabama. If you aren't careful, you will arriv with dead or dying chickens from the heat. Just be aware. Safe journey.
