We are planning a move from Kamloops to the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, and I would love to take my 7 girls! The trip itself is not a concern, as it's only about 7 hours and will occur during mild spring weather - it's what to with them at the other end that is tricky. We don't know yet what our living arrangements will be at the other end - we may find a house right away, or may end up renting or even living in an RV for awhile while we house hunt. If we don't find a house right away, that means maybe finding some kind of temporary home for the girls, maybe a spot on someone else's property... even if we do find a house, there's going to be some in-between time as we set up a permanent coop for them. Does anyone have any advice on how to make this work? My children and I would be heartbroken to have to say goodbye to them if we can't sort this out.
While it doesn't address WHERE they will live, one suggestion that a friend made was to pre-build a small coop before we move that we could assemble wherever the chickens end up. Then we would build a more permanent coop once we're settled. So if anyone has plans to share for a simply, small coop, that would be much appreciated!
Anyway, I would love to hear folks' thoughts, ideas, and experiences - thanks!!
