One day early in fact - and right in the middle of our annual shareholder meeting! My husband called and I ran home to set up the brooder!
Anway - for those folks who might be wondering how My Pet Chicken ships as few as three chicks, this is what the box looks like:
The top sort of snaps on, and it's a box that really can't be placed any way except up on a surface. The green gel is something they eat while in transit I believe, and under them is a heating packet (it was still warm when I opened the box.)
We by no means live in a rural area; they were delivered to the main city post office at 770 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge MA, and the nice postal workers knew exactly what to do - no surprises.
So here they are in their brooder, which is just a watermelon box from Costco that they will give you free for the asking:
My husband has been interested but not quite as quivering with excitement as I've been while waiting for them to arrive, however now that he's seen them he is, of course, a total marshmallow!
The adventure begins....
