The post office hasn't been updated since Tuesday and they think they'll be there Friday I got 15 Cornish rocks do they stand a chance with 4 days without food

How old were they? If they had just hatched they may be ok.

They were just hatched. I'm sure hope they are. This is my first time getting chicks

IMO the extreme heat is a bigger problem shipping chicks this time of year. Make arrangements to pick them up at the PO first thing and have water available.

Ok so do I need to mix sugar in it. I guess atleast I'm in Michigan were it's only been like 70

 

[Percheron chick]

I would do straight water because your main goal is hydration. The sugar can pull water out of the cells.

 

[armyman0187]

Ok thank you. Now hopefully they are ok

 

[armyman0187]

They all seem alive and well! Just got them

 

[Percheron chick]
