Transport coops

[muircheartaigh]

Where is the best location to purchase transport coops online or within the maritime provinces?

Thanks!

Do you mean a moveable coop?

I think it would be easiest to look through the coop pages, find what you like, and then either build it yourself, or find someone local to build one for you.

 

[what did I do]

If you are looking for something yo put in your car, pet carriers work well.

I'm looking for transport cages/crates to move my meatbirds to the abattoir. BerryHill sells them for $75 which is expensive in my books.

My neighbor tied two tarps together in the back of a pick-up truck(one for the bottom of the truck bed the other for the top) . All of the birds were herded into the truck bed, the tarps were tied well together, and off they went to the butcher.

For fewer birds I love dog crates, I have four lying about in different sizes that I use all the time for transport or for isolation or for extra nest boxes.

I need enough for approx. 175 meat birds. I'm going to make some of my own and buy a few at a time from Strombergs.

Sounds like a plan.
