i wanna be a cowboy, baby ( HELL YEAH )
I didn’t have issues with my local post office because i live in a real rural area, but my chicks did sit in Kansas City, MO for a whole day before going into tracking oblivion. They shipped out Monday, just sat there Tuesday and I got a call yesterday at 10 something from my post office saying the chicks were there while I was two counties over sitting in one of my college lectures. Had to text my brother — who was at work, I might add — and he was luckily in service at the time to get them ( no cellphone service where we live except for a few places scattered in the whole area lol ). He took them home and said he wasn’t going to look at them, but decided to open the box and saw that two of them were on their backs and couldn’t get up and all of them were chilled. The heat pack in with them was completely cold.
He put them in the brooder and said the two that had been on their backs looked lifeless for a good while before perking up. The rest perked back up after warming under the heat lamp for a little bit. They were all still alive at 10pm last night, but I haven’t checked on them this morning yet.
anyways, I’m not too thrilled about shipping in general. My ducklings that shipped all the way from California had a better trip than the ones that were just from Missouri. 2,650 miles vs 744 miles
