I thought about converting a RV trailer into a coop. That way moving/evacuations would be throwing treats into the coop so they would go in and off we goI know, I know...I've grappled with it, believe me. How would I feel afterwards, if I left & they all died, though. I know I'm an oddball. I do feel the "other side" welcomes us all when we pass, so dying itself doesn't bother me...the suffering & pain bother me. I think of coming back here afterwards to see death & devastation, losing every little life I've come to love, the house, loft & coops that kept us safe, which would require rebuilding while enduring grief & survivor guilt. Grief...I've already had a whopping share of that & it still hurts. In my youth I had resilience & strength, but after fighting cancer 3x my physical condition is not as "fight ready" as it once was & after caring for all loved ones dying, losing friends to cancer & the period of years grieving & then going through the covid time utterly alone...I really don't want to be in a position where I leave any living loved ones behind, whether they be human or otherwise. I do have an 8x20 enclosed utility trailer, & crates, if I had enough time to crate up everyone, it could work if there was enough time & warning. But if there's only a 15 min warning...nope, not gonna make it. Maybe in a past life I was that Captain that went down with the ship.![]()

Expect I have too many for one coop

I had a loss of a boyfriend when I was younger and my solution was not getting attached again. I doubt either of our coping strategies are healthy.
