Shipping Bobwhites?

[Lextextrapper]

Does anyone know what the USPS regulations are for shipping live bobwhite chicks?

They Must Be Shipped In A Horizon Box And Be Overnighted

ETA: i'd call your PO and make sure they are aware that they can ship live birds for you. My PO didnt realize they could and told me flat out no... until i find out that all POs are able to (unless theres some special circumstance) and had higher ups call my PO and explain the motions to them

All they require is enough food and water source (Not water), and the birds be atleast a day old.

MY PO asks me those two requirements everytime i ship "do you have enough food and moisture for 2-3 days?" "are the birds atelast a day old?"

Then I hand her the filled out address with teh customers phone number (required), pay the shipping ad viola done!

Hi, use a standard chick shipping box for shipping bobwhite chicks there alot cheaper if its possible to order just one and if you have to buy a couple you will have extras for other shippments
