I've heard of the chicks somehow managing to fly out of their bins and land in another. Maybe that's how he ended up in there?

I've seen them doing it in a local, non-chain farm store -- jumping up on the rim of their horsetrough and jumping down into the next one.

That's a thought! He would have had to jump through five or six bins though... and they were supposed to be 3 to 4 day old chicks, but that wouldn't surprise me at all! I've had some very feisty chicks in the past and he's certainly been feisty!

A day-old chick couldn't, but a week-old one could.

So, 3 days in shipping and 4 days in the store = a chick that could possibly get bin to bin.

Oh I get that! But their shipment came in Thursday and it was Friday. They were definitely only a few days old and looking at their feathers too.
