Well, I am sure many people feel that way, but I truly do not.
It seems to be well established that chicks are fine for three days as they live on the yolk. They often do this with their hen moms.
And I think the PO tries to treat them gently and considerately. I did get one beat up looking box, but the chicks themselves were fine and had no symptoms of stress.
You hear about the occasional bad shipment but that is unusual, not the norm.
And that is also the way that many chicks come into the hands of people like myself who then treat them VERY well--all needs met, and free ranging, for the most part.
If I had to drive to get chicks I could not get the high quality chicks that I get, and the chicks would not have the high quality home that they get.
It balances very well.
