How to ship chicks?

[PrinceSandwich]

Does anybody know how to ship chicks/ducklings? I want to know things like what kind of box to ship them in, and how many to ship and stuff like that.

Well, I've never done it... but in the Meyer hatchery (I'm pretty sure its them) They sell shipping boxes. I believe they should be 1 day old, they still have part of the yolk to sustain them. They are usually shipped in groups of 25 or more for warmth. I think you can also buy heating pads for shipping. Like I said, I've never done it.. But thats what little bit I know. Hope this helps...
