I shipped my 1st 3 orders of chicks, of the season, yesterday. They were accepted at my local post office between 4:04 and 4:06. One box was picked up at the post office in TN this morning at 9:13 and another was picked up in FL at 11:46. None were DOA, although one lady said a few \"bantams have significant spraddle legs and one of those is pretty severe\". I\'ve been hatching chicks for many decades and had to look up what that meant last year when a customer said some chicks had it. Of the couple hundred chicks that hatched yesterday I found only 1 with that condition and it died shortly thereafter.
The third box is going to IL, but the post office tracking site doesn\'t show it has left Detroit yet. I think that box is being trucked and hopefully it will be there sometime tomorrow.
I know Michael said he has problems shipping from his local post office, but fortunately there are no problem from here this year...so far. :rolleyes:
3/1/2012...update...the IL chicks were picked up at 6:18 this morning.
