My Albany feeling his oats this morning, a few of his tail feathers are broke from the ride in a shipping box
[/QUOTE]
How far was he shipped? And how long did it take?

Just curious to know how it works and what carrier service you used?

@JShubin how you doing with the rains

Doing alright.. I left work early yesterday to do some on-the-fly sandbag drops, which stopped some potential major flooding/mudflow.

This is my second year in the home so I knew what to expect. I have been making some precautions, for example I am digging an 8ft diamter hole/cistern to hold rain water... I havent finish it yet, but it worked perfectly at 3-4ft deep. (I hope to get it to about 6ft deep). It filled up to the top just as the rain stopped pouring. Dug severel yards of trenches to guide the water/mud away from home and chicken coops.

Hows the weather up there right now? Still stuck in snow or did it all melt away?

Warmed up all 11" melted away, horse back out grazing on green grass

The third year we had our business a flood came through. The next summer I made dikes to divert the water. Been dry the last two floods in 21 years. First flood drowned chickens in my greenhouse. Our heavy rain,usually from a stalled hurricane from the south. Hard to stop water with out planning ahead

Not the OP, but when we have shipped birds I use the USPS. They go express next day mail, but can take up to 2 days depending on the location of the sender and the receiver. Be sure to use approved USPS bird shippers and I always get them sent out by Tuesday in case something happens so they don't get stranded in a post office over the weekend. I have sent birds and eggs all over the lower 48 states.

I had a rooster shipped from Georgia last month by the post office. When I let him out of the box he was wild and crazy for two weeks. Gave him a flock of 5 hens,now tame as they are.

He was shipped in a new horizon live bird shipping box from a friend of mine in south central Kentucky to northwest Louisiana, this all started Monday evening from his Post Office and I got a call from my Post Office at 8:30 this morning. I think the USPS is the only way to ship live birds, although FedEx does the air freight for them
