Just picked up chicks this morning. Josh our postmaster was really nice when he called in the early am to let me know that my chicks were here. I got there and because some hatcherys need you to check for dead chicks and have the post office say they indeed are dead on arrival I asked them if it would be okay to open them there. SURE it would, they were dying to see them and had been peaking through the holes to tell what type they were. Then he proceeded to tell me a joke they played on a replacement carrier. He gave her a cup with water and told her she had to dip her finger in the cup every 30 minutes and give each of the chicks a drink through the holes until they reached their new home. He said she bought it hook line and sinker. Then had to tell her they would come and pick them up it was all a joke. They had a good laugh. They also enjoyed seeing my new babies. All alive and well...
