If you can not take your poultry and evacuate, I was wondering what would you do with your poultry in event of a bushfire?

We have a plain in place as we had a fire at our back fence line late last years, we load all in to training, travel box and a covered trailer, we have friends happy to shelter the our poultry. we had 3 call when the fire was close to offer assistance. we were also prepared with both pumps and house pumps ready to go. biggest concern was the smoke as we have tea trees in the forest at the back. good thing we all survived in our area just fence damage, but wouldn't want to going through what they are down south.

The local bows club offered their hall for our animals when the fires were bad here last year
