Ordering chicks is incredibly stressful. Keep us posted!

Ugh, USPS is till showing them in Cleveland OH
No movement overnight. I am not sure because the last two years I hatched instead of ordering but I THINK this is par for the course and in a few hours it will show them at the regional hub in San Bernardino CA Then they are are about an hour from me.

The post office here has trucks come up at about 10am and 2pm so I will be stalking the post office looking for the truck. I live in a small town where we pick up our mail so everyone knows everyone basically we see each other at the post office daily.

It does not help that when I do a google search asking about USPS and chick delivery it starts off talking about delays and high mortality rates.

This will be my 7th or 8th order from Meyers and I have always received them on Tuesday so I am hopeful that in a few hours the stress will be over.... Now back to refreshing the USPS tracking ...

USPS tracking very frequently is not accurate to their current location. Good luck!

I am getting concerned, in past years I have had them home by now. According to USPS they are still in Ohio. I guess this is what happens when the government takes a SERVICE and all of a sudden start acting like, hey we should be making some money on this.... Everything seems worse now than a year and a half ago.

Saying a prayer for your babies safe and quick arrival!

Any luck yet? Have you called USPS at all?
