Can you help a FReeper with chicken transporting issues? ;)
If they’re feathered out, warmth isn’t as critical as when they’re just at the ‘fluffy’ stage. Make sure there are air vents in the top if the box and water would be more important than food over the length of the drive.
Make sure the container is large enough so they can all lie down comfortable and so they don’t start pecking one another and getting injured.
That’s all I can think of. They’re pretty hardy now that they’re feathered out.
Thank you for your thoughts.
They seem to be feathered out...A couple have a little bit of fuzz around face, but they are flying in the brooder—lots,...
I used a warming plate which some say helps them to mature a little ahead of schedule.
They drink water from a feeder or out of a small pyrex bowl in my hand, so can give them H2O when I stop for gas. They also eat out of my hand—gruel—their favorite where I mix their regular feed with water....Something about that makes them go nuts ;)
First rodeo, so trying to get ‘em all to their forever home :)
