They made it to the Scranton distribution center and sat there all night. Now they just need to get to my local post office so I can get the call to pick them up.
I have to say tho, 48+ hours to go from OH to PA is pretty disappointing for an “express” service. It would take me 6 hours to drive straight there.
Might have to plan an OH vacation for the next order to pick them up myself. Just have to figure a way to keep them warm for the 6hr drive back.
Hey, sounds like you’re yet another awesome person who is as addicted to buying chicks as I am!
I have never had chicks shipped, as I would be heartbroken if something happened to them.

I live an hour and a half drive from Rural King, and even that, causes heat-related issues.
Finally got this set up, and it works great!
(Excuse the waterer. This picture was taken after I got home.)
I have an inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter, and then I just run the cord back.
For travel, I offer very wet mash for feed and water. (Don’t give them an actual waterer unless you’re stopped. It makes a miserable reck for them.)
They spend most of the drive hanging out under the heat plate, but hey, at least they’ve got it!
Haven’t lost one to chilling since!
