OMG, I am really nervous now. I ordered 15 to be delivered at the end of October. Hopefully it won't be too cold, my son will be devastated if they don't make it here safe and sound.

You probably are a bit better off than those of us who order only 3 or 4. Your 15 will generally help keep one another warm. How old is your son? Is he old enough to talk to him about how fragile these little things are so he has a little preparation in case one doesn't make it (either from shipping or in the early weeks?)
No, I never got the tracking info on them. Maybe Meyer has it. I just assumed it would go straight from Ohio to Seattle, but that might not have been the case.Sept 23 should not be that cold yet in most places, do you have any idea of the route the chicks will take to you?
So far as I know none of the other big delivery services UPS, Fed Ex etc will ship chicks. Private individuals can ship adult birds by plane (they say pets or exhibition birds) and there are some private courier / pet transport services that will, but they are all of course really expensive.
He's 12, he does have a learning disability. He knows that if something dies it doesn't come back but he doesn't understand death. I will have to do some preparation with him. If I spend time and really explain it to him, he usually deals with the what ever the issue is pretty good. I'm just worried that the chicks will get lost in the mail and all arrive dead, he is so excited to get them. I guess we'll say a little prayer, keep our fingers crossed and hope it all goes well.
As far as I know USPS is the only service that will ship them.....Mine from Meyer Hatched Monday and I had them Tuesday Morning....I'm positive it had a lot to do with Meyer being in Ohio and I'm in PAJust wondering...is there any other way to have chicks and ducks transported than USPS?
