Chicks are shipped in bundles with Styrofoam on the bottom box to insure chicks don’t experience temperature extremes through either express or priority mail. Chicks arrive within 48 hours of shipping to the post office. The chicks are then picked up at the post office by the customer and should be inspected at that time to make sure that all of the birds are o.k. We also deliver large orders of chicks in our own environmentally controlled trucks for those who wish to pay for custom care and delivery by our trained drivers.
