I posted yesterday how my chicks departed Charleston wv (3 hours from me) at 5 am yesterday. I was super upset when I called the post office and they said they were due to arrive today from 1 to 5 am instead amd they would call as soon as they opened.... Guess what. Called today the chicks haven't been scanned since 5 am yesterday and they don't understand why. They said the likelihood of them arriving today is slim to none. They can't say for sure if they will even arrive tomorrow. This makes day 4 they've been with the usps. I called ideal poultry and they are always great! They will def replace them but are afraid that they'll be so stressed some may not make it. This is devastating. I know they're chicks but it's like my children are lost in the mail. A fellow chicken mama suggested I make a thread asking for survival tips. I have a mixture of probiotic and electrolyte ready! Any other suggestions if they indeed arrive tomorrow to help them thrive? Plz help. I'd love to hear of others experience with chickens arriving late as well. Did yours pull through
Thanks for any advice in advance! Y'all are lifesavers!
