    Shipping baby chicks?

    I have no idea which topic to put this under, so hope this one will do or one of the moderators will put it where it belongs. I have shipped adult chickens, but never chicks. Can someone give me some suggestions or "must-do's" on how to do this properly. I read an article on the Internet...

    Thanks for your reply. Until the rains stop, it looks like I'm going to have a time trying to get dry eggs. All the dry hay I put in their pen is already wet and muddy again. I covered the pen with a heavy duty tarp yesterday and I am going to try to again put dry hay in it. I'd really like...
