    Missouri rejected live chicks from Georgia

    I ordered chicks from a gentleman in Georgia and they were returned to him. He said they mentioned an embargo on chicks or something. Has anyone in Missouri had any problems getting chicks from Georgia sources? Found out why. Had to do with the post office having short hours on Saturday.
