I am sorry about your Chicks. But I wanted to add an observation I have made in the last couple of months concerning USPS. I have mailed hundreds of packages Priority mail over the last several years. Not live animals but still I have a pretty consistent finger on the pulse of USPS service. I have never had any serious problems with it and then suddenly in December I either witnessed or have been told about a dozen or more very strange occurrences. This being just one example of what I mean strange. I mailed a package in a priority flat rate box from Reno to Sacramento California. This is a two hour drive and the package should have easily made it in one day and been delivered easily in two days. after four days my customer contacted me saying it had not been delivered. I tracked it and it was in Anchorage Alaska. Now had this been a one time in all these years thing I would have chalked it up to an hilarious oops. but as I said there has been a sudden rash of event as ridiculous or worse than this. I suspect changes have been made at USPS and this is the result. I do not think it was temporary holiday help either as Christmas shipping for the most part had passed. Just be wary that there may be changes afoot concerning USPS. If so it really stinks because Priority mail has been a great service for a long time. Making Fed Ex look like amateurs and giving UPS a run for their money.
