    Chick arrived just skin and bones

    I don't know who messed up, be it the store or the post office but a box of 25 chicks arrived—half of them DOA. 12 chicks were put in the sick tank yesterday and this is the only one left. I'm guessing at least 4 days old when the post office dropped them off. She is very thin, you can easily...

    Shipping fees

    Is charging $50 deposit on the shipping box and an additional $150 for Insurance normal when buying online? I am new to buying baby chicks online, so I’m not familiar with regular practice from hatcheries Thank you for any advice, Doreen

    Chicks by Mail

    I am getting a shipment of chicks coming from Ohio to North Carolina. I originally selected a date for mid-March but I am wondering if I should switch it to mid-April due to the temperatures still in Ohio. Any thoughts on this? Would they be okay for mid-March shipped?

My chicks from cackle shipped Monday, and this morning I did not receive a call early in the AM like previous times. So I went over there to check in person and they weren’t there. My shipping...

    I had a bad experience with Meyer and decided to go with MPC when ordering chicks this time around. But, I’m just now figuring out that the hatcheries are/were affiliated. The threads I saw are years old, so I’m here to ask if it’s possible that they’re not affiliated anymore? Meyer forgot to...

    Can ducklings eat turkey starter?

    Ducklings are arriving today and I likely will not make it to the feed store, we have 28% turkey starter on hand but I’m worried about the high protein. I’ve heard of people feeding 26% but never 28%. I might be able to get a hold of some 22% chick starter, we usually use 22% duckling and...
