So, my chicks shipped out of California Tuesday night. I've been watching the tracking bar waiting impatiently for them to arrive. They were suppose to arrive Thursday by 3pm, so, I started really freaking out yesterday. How many days can baby chicks go without food and water?
This morning I am walking out the door to head to work at 7am. The phone rings & it's the post office!

e. DD has no school today due to teacher in service. Having one good vehicle, we all pile in and head to the post office. The post office is closed, so we pull around to the back where the mail carriers are busy loading up their vehicles.
2 men walk up to our car & ask if we need help. DH says in his gruff voice "Yeah, I'm here to pick up chicks". The 2 men laugh & then one realizes what type of "chicks" he means & offers to go get them. I about died laughing!!!
The chicks were super weak & could barely stand, but they've all ate and got water and are doing great now.
