Chick shipment?

[barred2rock]

I just received a tracking text from USPS that my chicks that were shipped yesterday (Tuesday) have a "delivery day" of Saturday. That's four to five days in the mail!

Isn't that too long? I'm worried about my babies!

Hopefully they arrive sooner than Saturday.

Are you familiar with poultry vitamins?
Do you have some on hand for when they do finally arrive?

I have three packet pouches of Probiotics & Electrolytes, made by Sav A Chick Products.

If they don't arrive today or tomorrow, brace yourself for DOA chicks. Like stated above have the brooder ready and vitamins/electrolytes mixed and make sure they get a drink and get warm ASAP.

Have you thought about soaking their food with water?

They were shipped from Iowa to Saint Paul Minnesota (that's the opposite direction to Colorado), picked up from Saint Paul early this morning. So, they're definitely not going to be here today & doubtful for tomorrow.

Although according to TSC, they're supposed to be here "before Friday", so maybe.

Will do... I'll post pics, supposing they're alive. Already have a batch of FF, I started last night.
