Cardboard chick crates

Cardboard Chick crates

When moving chickens you will need chick crates. These are usually made of cardboard, and sometimes of plastic. The plastic chicken crates a lot more expensive, but can be used again and again. Cardboard Chick crates are tossed after one use. Although chick crates are less expensive, you will need to buy 100 units at a time – and that can get expensive. When flying pets overseas you will need to use a wooden box, not cardboard, although some airlines are happy to take day old chicks in cardboard chick crates. Live adult birds will need to be moved in steel wire mesh crates or plastic crates.
