When I ordered my chicks, who are all peeping away next to me as I type, it was quite a while ago. I had no idea it would be so cold, BUT, it did not matter because the hatchery send them in a nice insulated box, AND, the Post Office called me early in the morning, and like another poster, I got up in my jammies, threw something over them, and went and got them. They are fine.
I ordered these chicks so that they would start to lay right as the older hens start to molt--so I can still have eggs to eat and eggs to sell during molt time. I need to order some for April also.
The Post Office should never have sent those chicks out in the cold like that. They should know better.
I think perhaps I should take cookies to my PO or something like that, apparently their carefulness is not something everyone experiences. They would never send out eggs or chicks. Heck, they called me when my WORMS came! Great people, I need to not take them for granted.
