i ordered my chicks this year from them. They said week of April 1st, and they arrived on April 2nd in the afternoon. I think the hatchery is in Connecticut and I am in Mass, so that is probably why I got my order so fast. I ordered 9 chicks, they were all alive when I got them, but one of them was kinda weak and scrawny looking. She only made it a couple days but the others are all doing great. Good luck!
