Yeah. Poor things would freeze to death up here in the north in the winter with our postal service. Even WITH heat packs.
I think if communities were smart, they could augment food for chickens from restaurant/fast food waste.

@LunarOrbit they had it for sale at the country convenience store about a mile from where I lived. I read the package and that’s what it said. Was so glad I used cayenne peppers. Also gave them black millet hay in the winter. The seeds are a lot tinier than yellow millet and they have to work to pick off the seeds, they love them. Supposed to be really healthy for them too.

We have a farm supply store and can buy chicks.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@MrBrownstone Do they sell them this time of year though? And I know the farm stores here don’t sell that many varieties…they might have been some type they don’t sell.

@cherokeepatti All year round. They are in a pen and walk around you just pick out the ones you want.

Plenty of baby chicks around my place.

People order roosters too.

:) sounds like someone mail ordered fertilized eggs.
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@cherokeepatti I didn't think that live animals were mailable, and maybe someone tried to mail eggs that hatched along the way :)

@Heartlander They’ve been mailing baby chicks for a long time. You can check the Postal website and see what’s allowed. At one time a long time ago it was cheaper to mail a child than send them on a train or other form of travel.
