Baby Chicks in the Mail...

[jonalisa]

I ordered 10 Appenzeller Spitzhaubens from tractor supply. They were shipped and arrived to me in less than 2 days. All 10 were alive and well. I’ve had them for a few days now.?

Glad to hear it!

My box arrived from the hatchery today. My excitement quickly turned to tears, 3 babies survived. One sweet chick passed away shortly after placing them in the brooder.

Best I could tell, the nesting material in the box shifted along with the lone heat pack included. The poor little thing got cold.

I understand that people have been mailing chickens forever, but this won’t be something I’d do again. Too nerve wracking, even before the loss.

So sorry.

Is this a political forum or what all this is misinformation and mostly untrue, Can we not stay with talking chickens?

What lies and misinformation are you talking about?

 

[jonalisa]

Can you, or anyone tell me what the average % of Chicks that didn’t survive PRIOR to these changes was? And % now? Obviously, an approximation... Thank you!

I have not researched it.
Certainly, all the recent news reported about dead chicks is something new we haven't seen before... according to the farmers who regularly order them. That's why it is being reported.

This isn’t a new thing here...
In the day of the cell phone old news is constantly regurgitated.

the truth is... there are animal rights activists and vegan sleeper cells working at the USPS locations purposely holding these shipments up to cater to their agendas.

I bought $70 worth of Forever stamps last week. There are some really great ones including the Fruits & Vegetables, Great Outdoors, American Gardens and Frogs that I chose.

Other beauties are Maine, Alabama and County & State Fairs. But if you have different tastes than mine, there are so many more to choose from.

Go see what you like. They'll be useful forever and they'll deliver them to your door.

I got some “fruit and veggie” stamps too. Seemed appropriate

According to the farmers and customers affected by it, it most certainly is a new thing that they have not experienced in the past.
I won't comment on your other theories, because as I said, this is not a thread about politics.

Leave it to the government to screw up even their own efficient organizations!

I just think it's a scandal that the post office was set up by the Founding Fathers to ensure an educated electorate. Benjamin Franklin was the first Postmaster. And now a government that relies on an electorate manipulated by emotions and fear is trying to dismantle it.
