I have 9 hens and want to get an evacuation plan in mind before I ever need to use it. I also have 2 rabbits that live with them in their large run/coop and want to get carriers lined up for them, too, if we ever need to leave. What did you folks find worked best to transport your hens in? I...

Shoot, I was hoping for an answer to this. We have one doing this, and otherwise she seems perfect. She's growing like a weed. Thanks for any help!

Nwbella and BoiseBurb, I'm sorry about your pretty girls and your losses all around, too. :(

Hi! I just bought a Sagitta chick today! She is lovely, a real beauty. Her marking are really unusual and striking. She has kind of a racer stripe down her back. The mgr at the ranch supply said they are typically very friendly, docile birds and are on the larger side. She fit right in...
