My dad (62) wants to put 10 chickens in the bed of the truck w/ a bed cover on to travel 1.5 hours.

| I (F27)personally think this is a TERRIBLE idea. I’ve used dog crates in the past but we don’t have any at the moment and my father wants chickens asap and I found some for $5/hen. This has created a HUGE argument, as he thinks they’ll be fine but in my head A) they’d be sliding around B)ventilation concerns C) animal welfare. My dad’s an old Midwest farmer but it was always me who care of the chickens growing up. I’m about ready to take the truck myself (which is in MY name!) to buy some crates and do it without him. I don’t need his help, but he doesn’t agree with me going to a strangers farms by myself (even though I lived in another country for 3 years and originally moved out at 17🫠) TLDR: am I overreacting and it’s legitimately okay for a 1.5 hour drive, or are my concerns valid?
