Collecting your ChickensWhat to use for transporting your chickensCollecting your Chickens may seem quite an easy task and in most cases it is. However, there are some important things to consider. I've heard stories of Chickens dying en route, Chickens escaping in the back of the Car and Chickens de-hydrating or in general poor health when reaching their destination. What to transport your new Chickens inTo be fair, it's not really cost effective to purchase a proper Bird Carrier if you're only going to use it once, or just a few times. ![]() Cat / Pet Basketsare good, they're usually well ventilated and have ample opening not to make the Chicken feel too claustiphobic.
When I've used them, I've placed them in the back of the car either on the seat or the seats pulled down - do not put in Boot). Facing the door of the basket against the side of the car or the back rest will darken it a little - this should make them a bit calmer. A basket will hold two smaller Chickens (POL or Ex-Batts) quite comfortably, but with any of the larger Hybrids, I'd just put one inside.
