When I talk to Granny and others that live further East, they say that the land is much cheaper than what we have here... they also claim that gas and other essentials are a quarter of what I spend... I know we live in a spot that seems to be in the middle of no where... and everything seems out of reach, but I have that drive... afterall where would I put all my birds without it?

Gas was $1.599 here this afternoon where I go.

I experienced more than most people do at my young age. My most favorite spot to live.. I lived there during the evasion.. Left in 86 and moved to Washington.

I grew up in Papua New Guinea so I can understand experiencing more than most at an early age.
 
That's awesome!! I am suppose to get 25 chicks this week. Hoping the poor dears don't freeze to death. Weather says it will be in the 30s. :th. this is my 1st time getting chicks through the mail. So, not really sure of the process.

The process is as follows.

1)You place your order with the breeder, who in turn gives you a ship date (anywhere from next day to 6 months, depending on the breeder, availability, weather, how close to quitting time it is if on a Friday, etc.
2)The breeder calls to tell you the ship date has been delayed for one of the above reasons.
3)Your chicks arrive at the Post Office, where they sit for the rest of the day
4) On the day after shipment you continuously monitor the online tracking information, which never changes
5)After being handed off from one P.O. hub to another along the way (because UPS or FEDEX can't be trusted, evidently), your birds finally arrive at your local P.O. (or a P.O. somewhere, hopefully).
6)You are notified of your birds' arrival & availability for pickup, depending on how close to quitting time it is, especially on a Friday.
7)You proceed to the P.O. to claim your shipment. The P.O. personnel can readily identify which box is yours, they simply grab the up-side-down box with the most damage
8) You return home, where you open the box & are greeted by your new, hungry, thirsty, stressed, well-shaken (but not stirred) charges


NO PROBLEM!
(The above tongue-in-cheek scenario does not necessarily apply in all cases. Yours may or may not be better)

Have a great day now, ya hear?

I haven't ever ordered chicks via mail, but fingers crossed they all arrive healthy. I know lots do though and are just fine.
