I agree that it depends on your situation. I got my chicks last week - I live in the mid-south and the temps were under 45* - not great weather, but my 7 chicks arrived safely and all are healthy. The hatchery sent the shipment overnight express and they included a heating pad and a bit of grow gel in the box with the chicks. I think the overnight delivery made a big difference. Cost a ton to ship them (less than $18 for the chicks and $25 for shipping).
