yes they do treat the live chicks as bad as the eggs to my great sorrow, the last two times i've ordered chicks, they arrived dead and theres nothing you can do, the postoffice doesn't care how their employees treat the mail and of course they don't insure, if they did, the chicks might arrive alive again, people just don't care about living things anymore, its all about the money. now, if i can't drive and pick them up myself, i don't order chicksDo they treat chicks as roughly, or is it different because they are living, chirping animals?
I know I would not trust my P.O. with eggs. I don't even trust them with the mail!
