[little blue]

we are selling one of our hens with her chicks she has 2 chicks about a week old should i put the chicks in the box with her or should i seperate for transport.the box is very big with alot of room.

If she is flighty, then ship separate, otherwise with chicks. I move game hen with chicks and a rooster in cat carrier on back of motor cycle twice a year. Birds tolerate it enough that I can get them walk into box on their own. Watch for heat stress.
