Rather excited, it's been around a decade since I've had chickens and I've missed them
(long story, lots of moving involved). I read a lot and decided to order from Meyer. I live in
SW west virginia (transplant from the deep south). . . I'm a little apprehensive now after
reading about so much chick loss from the cold. I'm going to go down and talk to them at
the post office and make sure they know to keep them out of the cold. . . I am sure they do
as this is a rather rural area, but it'll make me feel better to go talk to them. They should hatch
on March 3 and supposed to arrive on March 4. I am getting 26 chicks, I hope they make it
alive. .. does Meyer include extras against such losses? or no? I know I read they do not use
the 'packing peanut' method of including extra roos for warmth.
I am sure I will be full of questions!
