Normally they give you the dates on when they should come.. I'd just make sure you're home all day during those days.
Looking for hatchery!!!

Yeah.. maybe but I work odd hours. But I’ll hopefully make it work some how! I want to be there when my babies get there!

I called the post office and was super nice and explained that I wanted to pick them up The moment they got to my local post office. That way they would still be alive. They bring shipments in my area around 6 o’clock in the morning. So I left my phone number to call immediately once the birds arrived. They were really good with working with me and letting me know as soon as they got there. One shipment of birds was delayed, so I drove and picked them up at the post office they were stuck in. It was a warehouse, but they were still willing to let me pick up the birds. Just an option if you are limited on your availability.
Okay that is good to know. I live on a farm.. would they still be delivered to the post office? Or to the house?I called the post office and was super nice and explained that I wanted to pick them up The moment they got to my local post office. That way they would still be alive.

When I order I’m going to try to have the day off so that when they arrive I can go pick them up.

Mine would not deliver to the house. They didn’t want to put the live animals in the delivery trucks. So they call as soon as they get them.

Metzers was really good about sending tips and this sort of information when I purchased them.
Okay that is good to know. I wasn’t sure how all of this stuff worked. I’ve never ordered online before.
Thanks!
