Johnson’s Waterfowl and priority mail shipping

[GooseHerder]

I am considering buying some ducklings from Johnson’s waterfowl and I am concerned about the priority mail shipping from Minnesota to Arkansas. It says 2-3 days in shipping. Do you guys think the ducklings will be ok?Im ordering about 22 ducklings.

Depends on weather this time of year. Will there be a blizzard and planes aren't moving and ducklings sit on tarmac and freeze to death. Happened a few years back a lot of poultry froze to death because hatcheries sent them out when the weather was awful. 22 ducklings would keep each other warm to a degree but not for extended length of time plus when you order make sure to ask for gro gel and heat pac. If you wait till closer to spring they would have a much better chance of making it from Minn to Ark. Even if they were shipped USPS long trucks that is still a really cold space for them to be in if temps are frigid or delays because of ice or snow.
