What on God's green marble was someone thinking sending month old chicks through the mail in the summer??????
I don't mean to sound harsh, but that doesn't even sound like a good idea.
Hopefully they'll find them, though.

They arent in one of them big live bird shipping boxes they are in a chick box that has all them holes in it and it's like 2's bigger than a regular chick box and since they are bantams they dont need a big box.

Well, as long as it isn't really hot there, they should be OK.
Lots of holes in the box is good.
Sorry, duck, I didn't mean to be critical. It really shouldn't have been a big deal with her only being in Ohio.
I bet they'll show up and be OK.

A month or 2.
They are coming from Ohio and I keep looking to see if I get another Email saying where they checked in. But still nothing...
I just want my baby chicks!

ETA: The seller put grapes, grass, and some sliced appled in the box with them, so they should be ok.

It's good that she put some fruit in there. Fruit breaks down and makes water so they can stay hydrated.
I'll say a little chickie safety prayer for them.

Supposedly Mt. Healthy, but I'm not sure.
Let's be honest, folks, we can get Salmonella almost anywhere.
Here's a novel thought...WASH YOUR HANDS!

OK, I'm having second thoughts about Jabfest 2011. It didn't hurt when he did it, however, that doesn't appear to be the case several hours later.
In short...OUCH!
