I ordered 40 straight run Barred Rocks from Meyer Hatchery and they said they'd arrive Wed 22nd through Fri 24th. When they didn't come on Friday, I called the hatchery, who said they were sent on THURSDAY. Dang it! Now my chicks are sitting all day today (Sunday) in some post office somewhere without food, water or proper heat. When they come tomorrow we'll see how many survived - I'm really ticked off.
Meyer just said I had 48 hours from arrival to call for replacement chicks or refund, whichever I choose. I'm in Santa Cruz, CA and Meyer is in Texas, so the temps won't be too bad, but they'll be weak (or dead) from four days without water. I'm really going to give Meyer a piece of my mind if even one chick is DOA.
