Shipping Chickens

Who do you ship with?
USPS told me they won't and laughed at me...

How do you package them?

I am trying to ship a 1 year old rooster.

You have to have a special package with bio-filters and it must be Express Mail, is all I know. Has to go through the P.O., I think.

Hi Jackie!

Horizon micro environments has boxes and a good web page with answers. They are USPS approved.

I don't know why that person laughed at your question. The USPS contracted out the live express service with Fedex. Shipping is pricey. They have a web page that calculates the cost. Size of box, distance and weight. Put a soft apple, cucumber or tomato in the box for your boy.

JackieK318, sorry for staying off topic but... Do you live in Saint Louis city or county?
Now you don't have to answer this if you don't want to.

County

I found the boxes and USPS called me back and apologized for the oversight. Do I have to buy them in cases of 10?! I only want one! eek! Does anyone have one I can buy or know where I can buy a single one?

Don't panic!

Yes you can buy just one of any kind from Horizon.
