EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[h2oratt]

They arrived just now. One chick was dead and another is weak.
They sat at the distribution facility downtown for 30 hours before being forwarded.
No food or water for almost 70 hours.
This is the first chick I've ever lost in shipping.

I am so sorry. When I got my first chicks from mcmurrays out of 12 one was dead and one died the next day.

We have a post office (zip 63138) about 7 miles from my house which is open from 2 PM to 4:30 PM on Sundays. The truck picks up at 5:30 PM just like every other day of the week.
I asked at my main post office last week and was delighted to discover there was a way to ship on Sunday so close to home.
Sadly, it didn't help.

I think we have at least 3 post offices open on Sunday. The main one downtown, the 63138 one in far north county and one in far south county.

I don’t think any are open in calif on Sunday.

This is an old post but it may help.

I'm sure they frequently get this question so if you ask one of the more knowledgeable clerks or the postmaster at your local PO, they may know of one or more in your area.

Do I ship eggs? Yes, more frequently than chicks.

I hope everyone in the US got out there and voted today!!

We voted a week early and it took about 45 minutes. I'm so glad we did because it always takes me 4 to 5 hours at my normal precinct every 4 years. My friends in west and south county almost never have a line. It would be acceptable if it was a one time deal but that's been going on up here for 20 years. That is plenty of time to make adjustments.
They just don't want my neighbors to vote.
