thank you @Debbie292d and @BigBlueHen53 for your comforting and helpful replies! I am happy to report that this was just a false alarm! USPS didn't estimate the delivery right at all because i got my girls at 1pm! LESS THAN 24 HOURS! Montana to east coast how amazing! While i am not pleased to be wearing the freak-out-for-nothing queen crown i am so glad my worry was for nothing and thank you @backyardchickens for providing this platform!

Oh my goodness! That is such great news!

I was so afraid to say it in my initial post that if they were day-olds, going that long beyond 72 hours, I feared you may find some didn't make it. Whew!!

They may be vitamin-deficient. Do you have some Poultry Cell, Nutri-Drench, or some other poultry vitamins? If so, give them some every other day for a week or two. I say every other day because too much can cause diarrhea.

To post a video, you can either post it on YouTube or in our Gallery (tab above). Then get the link from either one and paste it here.

Her travel accommodations likely weren't the most comfortable seats on the bus! Give her a good multi-vitamin and a couple of days. But ... CYA, just in case. Notify the hatchery that she's having issues now, so there's not a question of her injuring herself after arriving.
