Waiting on Mail order Chicks

[BigBlueHen53]

Also, little update from hatchery. They said they've noticed USPS are updating tracking less this year and they looked up some shipments that went out with mine and they are showing the same tracking. They also said they packed them with a 72-hour heating pack and plenty of grogel for hydration. They are hoping I get them tomorrow!

Sounds good. Very reassuring!

Update:
GOOD NEWS:
The chicks made it today around 11:30am! I ordered 10 5 of each breed. They are home now most are doing okay they sent me an extra copper Maran so I got 11 in total but one of the Marans are near death hoping I can get it nursed back to health. A couple are a little wobbly and tired, but most have eaten and drank already!

On a side note, I got 5 BBS Wheaten Americaunas, does anyone know how to figure out the color of them or do I have to wait until they start to feather?

I don't have much hope for today my post office is smaller and from what they told me they get an early morning truck and a late morning truck and unfortunately the chicks weren't on either truck. I wish usps was better at updating tracking so I could at least see where they are...And yes, my post office has my number and told me they'd call as soon as they get them, I'm hoping they come early tomorrow morning. But I've now also emailed the hatchery as well so they can be aware I still haven't received them hoping maybe they can look into it too.

I had similar panic with mine, but they actually did arrive the day after they were shipped. I would have been having a cow by now I think! Just offering sympathy, this was my first experience with mail order chicks.
