How many packing peanuts will come??

[idispatch4911]

I ordered 11 female day olds from Ideal. They will be shipping from the Texas hatchery to Southern Utah. I don't really care that I get packing peanuts or not. Just curious how many they might send. It is going to be December, after all.... Will they fill the box to 20, 25?

What do you think?

I'm not 100% sure, but if I were them I'd fill it to 25 because its winter

I received mine 3 weeks ago in South Carolina. I got a total of 23 chicks in a box.

I received my order from them 3 weeks ago. I asked for NO packing peanuts. I got 16 chicks total, exactly the number I ordered. All the chicks are healthy and doing well.

I ordered my 12 girls from Ideal in October and they sent 9 roos! Since yours will be December babies I'm betting you will be getting 25

Sorry..........

I'm sure you will get plenty of peanuts. They like to pack the boxes pretty full for warmth in cold weather.

I'd bet you'll get 25 or 26 chicks total. Be prepared for that many.

Do they charge you extra shipping for the extra chicks?

No, they're completely free. You pay small order fees and partial-box fees on orders fewer than 25. It costs them the same to ship a box of 25 as it does to ship that box with 10 in it so it's no big deal to fill it up with cockerels that would otherwise be euthanized.
