Post office has lost my chicks

You have made my point, I was not degrading or disrespectful of you, but yet you chose to yell at me. Personally, with your attitude, you would not receive much from me either.

And with YOUR attitude, I wouldn't expect any!

People don't usually like to be yelled at, but you just don't give up do you?

I've got my post office trained

well, not really, I bribe them!!!!!

Whenever I get chicks or eggs in, regardless of the time, they CALL me

I will tell them when a priority shipment leaves and 2 days later I either get a call at 6am when the truck comes in or at 6-7pm when the late truck comes in. Of course I never have to go to the front door, I always ring the buzzer out back and bring a bunch of easter egger eggs as a bribe.

Yesterday my PO carrier stopped in the house to tell me the eggs I was expecting hadn't shown up yet (i told her it would take 1 more day because they shipped mon) but she wanted to see my babies.

Next thing you know, this morning I get a phone call from the PO as my eggs were in. I rushed out of the house in disarray and got my eggs bright and early. The PO carrier had told everyone at our local PO how cute the babies are, I am probably going to start carrying pics of how they grow up

To make a long story short, its always better to catch fly's with honey instead of vinegar. Poultry peeps like us need to befriend the USPS and educate them on handling. And farm fresh eggs go a long way!

I'm glad you got the chicks, Joe... can't wait to see pics of them!

Since Joe has his chicks, I'm closing this thread. Though I understand the extreme frustration and concern for the lost chicks, yelling and namecalling amongst the members of BYC solves nothing.
