Hey everyone! Here I am, yet again, hoping for some help...
I am getting ready to place an order for 16 mixed day old chicks from Meyer Hatchery. I'm in Western PA, they are in Ohio. Not sure if this matters. Anyway, they will fill small orders, which is why I chose them. I'm ordering them for the first week of March. They will ship my chicks for an extra thirty or so bucks overnite, and with some sort of heating pad. To me, this either seems like a great idea, or a disaster waiting to happen. I called and asked about how it worked: they place something that works like a hand warmer under the bedding in the box, and they also said since I want 16, that they will also provide warmth for each other.
Has anyone ever done this? Does this seem like a horrible idea, or am I worrying too much?
