Where are my babies???!!! They are here only 3 DOA

I'm worried, I live so close to Denver (a main hub) that I never worry about ordering chicks, because they always get here in less than 24 hours from shipping. They always call me from the sort center as soon as they get there and I go get them.

It's been that way with both MMH, and Ideal, this time I'm trying Meyer and they shipped on Monday and they aren't here. It's really hot and I have 100 chicks coming. I'm worried for their health. I sure hope they get here soon

 

No, no news. I always get a call from the sort center, and I've done searches, and can't get the number for them.

I called Meyer and they said they shipped Monday and that they should be here today or tomorrow. Now I've been called at 9pm on a Sunday night from the sort center so I know they call.

I'm just sick. I have people wanting their chicks and I'm afraid they'll all be dead by the time I get them.

I wouldn't be so worried in the winter, but in this heat and this long I worry about them dehydrating. I have to tell you, this is worse than hatching.

 

No, still no chicky butts. I did call my local PO and got the number of the sort center. I called them and asked if any chicks had come in. He said he didn't think so but would go check. Well, I guess he got distracted because he never came back to the phone. I'm just SICK! People have been calling all day wanting their chicks and they aren't here.

But, I did hear some interesting news today. I guess there has been a huge run on chicks this year and the hatcheries wheren't prepared for it. I guess sales have gone up 400% and 500% for some breeds. So the wait is really long.

Right now, I'd be really happy if they called me at 9pm like they did last time. I'd run get them again.

I guess if they come in half dead then it would cover my butt because I way over sold this shipment. I always get screwed by somebody so I don't worry too much. But I could say, sorry yours' died Ok, that's not really funny, but I thought I'd try a little humor to see if I felt better about it.... Hum, no don't feel better.
