Shipping Chicks?

[novastar]

When are chicks usually shipped?
I placed a special order in at Runnings and picked up my four RIRs yesterday. I'm just trying to figure out when they were hatched so I can mark their bday and age correctly.
Thanks!

They are shipped as soon as they are dry after hatching. Do you know how long the shipping took?

I do not know for sure how long the shipping took. I'm assuming 2-3 days? The are pretty tiny. My guess is that they are 4 days old today. Here is a pic of one...let me know what you think!

The shipping probably took 1-2 days so I'd say their probably 3 days old.
