On three different occasions this summer there was no mail carrier on my road from Tuesday to Monday. My wife quit putting her bills in the box because they would be late. The mail went in the box before dawn Thursday and the flag was still up on Monday.There isn't any slowing of the mail service that I've noticed. I'm a substitute mail carrier and I've heard of a few things getting delayed but not a general slow down. My eggs got to me a day earlier than promised and the ones I sent to California did as well.
I contacted one place that may have chicks for sale but most that have them won't ship. The Iowa blue are pretty rare it seems.
We never go a day without mail. but those three weeks we had no mail.
Lots of chicks died in the Northeast when they sat waiting in sorting centers.
