Hi all,
I've had a search but can't find any information. I was wondering if it was a bad idea to transport my week old chicks and mother in the car for an hour each way. I keep my own flock but also have one at the school I work in. The kids would love to see the babies but my primary concern is the welfare of my own birds.
If it isn't the worst idea in the world what would be the best way? Separate babies and Mother? Keep them all together in a smaller box?
It goes without saying they (or the children) will go nowhere near the school flock before handling them.
Thanks,
Harry
