that's a big part of the due diligence. the other part is to know where the distribution center is, what door to knock on there, if the chicks get held up there for an extra night. your local post office might give you this info.
I received something about the budget cuts threatening the continued sending of day old chicks, from Metzer's. there was a link where you could find all the appropriate representatives and senators. we all need to do that.
