Hi. My husband and I have a house in the mountains that we visit quite often for a few days at a time. We take our dogs with us but have to leave the chickens here for my son to watch over. We would like to be able to stay for longer periods of time during the summer, but I start missing my chickens and worrying about them. Has anybody heard if it would be too stressful for them to be moved to a different coop for a few weeks and then back home to their regular coop for a few weeks? Our chickens are spoiled rotten and I would never want to do anything that might hurt them in anyway. If we see that we might could transport them, we would do it at night after they had gone to roost and inside a vehicle with no wind. I would cover the crate to keep it dark but it would still be well ventilated. Does anyone have an opinion about this or any suggestions about how to make the transition less stressful?
