Question for those of you who have ever ordered chicks from MPC.
How long did it take for your chicks to arrive?
I live near Houston and I just ordered 15 chicks that are scheduled to hatch and ship Monday, January 30th.
I am a nervous wreck, this is my first time ever to get chicks through the mail. After reading horror stories of USPS and chicks, I told myself I would never do that. However after batch after batch of eBay eggs hatching many cockerels, I really think this is worth a try to get what I want. I had originally planned on going through ideal because I could just drive to them and pick them up, however they really didn't have the breeds I wanted. So I decided to pay the price and order the ones I want, and order sexed chicks.
On the order form it says express mail. I realize the USPS doesn't guarantee much of anything. I looked on both MPC and USPS website and couldn't find a map with typical delivery times for chicks/live poultry.
I asked MPC where this shipment is coming from, and they replied Ohio. Then I really panicked.
Have any of you in Texas had your chicks delivered to you from that part of the country? If so how long did it take to get to you?
Thanks
