How long do mail order chicks take to arrive?

[NatJ]

My new chicks were shipped on 2/10. The post office said to expect delivery on 2/16. Should I expect an arrival of dead chicks?

Do not panic. Chicks usually arrive just fine. The Post Office has been predicting longer-than-usual delivery times since sometime last year, but MOST chicks have still been arriving in the usual 2-3 days and have been fine. There were a number of threads about it last year
