Back to chickens for a moment. Having been born and raised in the city and not knowing anything about chickens, I have what is probably a really stupid question: Are you all saying that you can MAIL ORDER baby chicks and they get delivered in the mail or via UPS etc and they're actually ALIVE and in a box ???
I'd be ready to lay an egg too, if I were them, after going through that ordeal !

YES day old chicks ship very well. In fact they have a bit of yolk sack on their tummies they can live off for a few days and why you allowed to ship them. You can ship adults as well. I ship geese all over the U.S. both new babies and adults. We ship them Express Mail/over night. The shipping boxes have breathing holes in them and are made specifically for shipping live birds. Birds from Parrots to Peafowl are shipped via the United States Postal Service but not UPS or Fed Ex. Other live critters are shipped through the mail as well such as tropical fish, reptiles ,dogs, cats etc.
