Those Keets came through bright eyed and running about their little Carton. I peeked in at the Post office because there was NO WAY I was going to get that thing open without serious damage to the box. I peeked in just in time to see a couple nibbling on their watermelon. Then there was that whole Awww moment and everyone in the vicinity had to peek too.
With Regard To the hatcheries.... I suspect they purchase their boxes in bulk shrink wrapped on pallets, they probably purchase a quantity that will cover one or two years worth of operation. They probably get their cartons directly from the manufacturer too. That produces a Deep discount. Possibly in the cents per carton.
Remember they hatch daily twice what a small breeder hatches all year. And they have some automation to help with the process. In order to have all chicks be the same age. To be Honest I wont purchase from a hatchery ever. And I wont ever order Sexed chicks. yep I am prepared to keep every Roo or Cock. Lots of space and love the noise.... LOL.
