I won't name the hatchery but I just got bantam chicks and standard chicks today by mail. They shipped on Friday, spent all day yesterday sitting in the USPS sorting facility and this morning when I picked them up we had 6 dead banties and 3 that are still weak. The hatchery put nothing in with them to get them through the long transit time. I feel bad for the chicks since they suffered. One was taking its last breath as I got home from post office. I called the hatchery and they are going to make it right but that doesn't fix what happened to those babies. We got ducks a month ago from the same place and had one dead on arrival. We had no problems last year so something is wrong there I think. I have two more orders coming and am hoping we don't have anymore problems.
