chicks lost in the mail

[silkiechicken]

Sorry for your loss. Chicks only have a 3 maybe 4 day window to leave the hatchery and get to you after they hatch. You can't delay shipping them for better weather, it is either they go or die anyway. Glad they can replace the order for you. Seems like post offices are hit and miss.

 

[N&MSchroeder]

This is just terrible! Keep us posted on the replacement shipment.

Oh no, I hope they make it somewhere safely. Sorry for your situation.

I'm so sorry for your loss

, it's a sad shame. I pray that your replacement package get to you quickly and safely.

It doesn't matter the weather/time of year, the USPS makes these mistakes at any time/ any weather. Please don't feel that it's your fault, IT IS NOT!

May all your new babies arrive alive and thrive to live out their happy little chicken lives

Are you sure they weren't shipped on Wednesday? That is when I remember my last ones being shipped. They arrived on a Friday.
