Dead Chicks

[TARDIS37379]

I ordered 36 Buff Orpington female chicks and 3 males. I spent time having everything ready and the brooder clean and set up for them.
When the box was opened 18 were dead. The box had a divider in the middle and one side were happy and healthy and the other side was a pile of dead chicks. The hatchery will make up the loss and when it was reported to the post office they could have cared less. The excuse was “must have been too hot” and when they were told new chicks need 100 degree warmth the reply was, “it’s still been too hot”.
So now to go in search of Buffy chicks.
I don’t blame the hatchery, the post office most likely forced cool air in the one side of the box and the chicks died. I despise the USPS for lots of other reasons too.

This is so sad. Wasted innocent life taken away from careless service.
I work inside the post office plant...the very top end management are on crackdown to why there service is going peril downward at alarming rate. Plus media pushing more bad press with the post office. LOL

It is having lots of supervisors inside my plant scared. Which is such a good thing. Their too much poor leadership across the institution.The service went downhill even more ever since having new the post master. It getting to the point I want to quit myself. Too much drama and politics inside the post office. Just dysfunctional. Even if post office went private. They won’t survive in business. That is my honest opinion.

I’m at war with my local post office. The incompetence of the rural route carriers is amazing.

Maybe a vent perhaps, but cardboard box isn't very well insulated, you'd think that the temperature would be pretty uniform throughout.
