Hurricane Preparation

[tyler9593]

Hey y'all, I hope this is the right tread to post this in...
We live in sunny Central Florida, and it's starting to look like that category 4 hurricane Irma is going to directly hit our area. I've lived through a few hurricanes, but not with chickens. Any suggestions on what to do?

What kind of coop do you have ?can you fort them up in the coop?

Cat four is really gnarly
do you want to take the chickens with you and just leave? how many do you have?

To be honest, I agree with Dr. Arnett!

Which way Dr. Arnett? Northwest Florida or where?

We have nine chickens, so we might have to lock them up in the coop. It also has two 4x4 posts that are attached to the ground so it probably wont blow over. Otherwise, I could purchase nine chicken diapers and keep them inside the house lol

If Irma is going to hit as a category 5, pick up everything you love and run!
