Moving chickens?

[Jessie_Jazz]

Hiya, my first coop is nearly built so I'm thinking about getting the chickens to put in it. I was wondering how do I get the chickens home in the car?

What do I put them in and how much space do they need when they are being moved?

I put mine in a pet carrier. I haven't had to travel farther than 1/2 an hour though.

Pet carrier or dog crate. They usually just hunker down for the ride and don't move around a lot.

Funnniest sight ever seen. A little Hispanic guy bought 5 hens at an auction. He just threw them in the cab of the truck. They were flying all over the place. I don't know how he drove home. Auctions are always entertaining.

I was going to ask this very question,lol. We may be moving and we have 10 hens 2 roos and 2 ducks to move. Plus we will have to build a new coop and run to move them into once we get there! If we do make this move I think the chickens are going to entail a lot more work than us people will,lol.
