I am currently surrounded by the Northern California fires, just a few hills away - any tips would be helpful on evacuating with chickens. I have 4. I’ve scrounged up a dog kennel and had a test run, all chicks fit okay and ended up all laying down and resting. But if I’m stuck in a parkinglot for a while I need to know other tips to help keep these sweets birds okay. The smoke is horrible, our ranch is covered in ash. Thanks for anything ❤️
We also have a pup and 2 cats, and only have a Scion xD - not an ideal situation for that many animals along with out belongings. But definitely lives are our number one priority
@new 2 pfowl posted this on the Peafowl Forums - this may help those that are having to evacuate. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hope-you-norcal-peapeople-are-safe-some-resources.1202911/ I can't imagine what this must be like for you, I wish you well. I agree - if anything have plenty of water. Hydration is most important for birds, feed if you can manage it or have room.
