I couldn't sleep the night before my chickens were supposed to arrive the first time i ordered them. I called the post office the day before to tell them to call me as soon as theyre willing to let me come in the morning. She told me she gets in at 6 so I set my alarms for 5am so I could get their brooder warmed up and filled with bedding food and water before she called and then sat by the phine waiting so I could drive straight there as I was so nervous about their wellbeing I didnt fall asleep till almost 3. I cannot imagine ordering chicks knowing theyre living beings and not being concerned in the slightest for their wellbeing because they arrived at an inconvenient time. I do meat animals as well so this isnt about them being livestock vs pets. Theyre living beings whether theyre pets or nourishment or both, they deserve respect

We love the people like you and most do what you do. Just the few, they are often repeat offenders. We called the hatchery one time report a no pick up turns out it was a second offense. They were band from ordering from them.

The shipped chickens in my town are also lucky because both of the postal workers in our very rural small post office also have chickens and they have a policy in place that if they're left for 24 hours the employees take them home.

Wish I could say my head didn't hurt because of the inconsiderate neighbors down the street blasting their garbage at top volume.

Makes you want to go down and chuck a chain over their power line, eh Notabitail.

Why can't you respect my wishes on my dog? I say no table food and you give her it multiple times every time you eat. All your dogs have been obese and died of heart issues, I do everything I can to keep mine in peak health and you can't even respect one request

Crate her during meals, Nobs.

My dogs are allowed occasional "people food," but NEVER straight from the table. They can lay quietly underneath or wait elsewhere, but they know they don't get fed until after the people are done.
My Dad adored my little Shih Tzu and would pass her bits of his dinner straight from his plate. She got really bad when we were over there and would constantly beg at the table - whic I definitely did NOT allow at home.
Dad felt badly about getting "his Girl" in trouble, and figured out a way around it. He would eat half his meal at the table, then sheepishly moving to the armchair across the common room and share with her from there.
Chu was a quick learner. As soon as we sat down to table, she positioned herself next to Dad's armchair in her best "Pretty Please" beg. It never failed! I gave in to the compromise. At least she wasn't begging at the table anymore ...
