Hi Kim. Murray McMurray hatchery has always used the postal service for sending our chickens. As I understand it, they send them on Friday or Saturday and we always get a call from our post office early Monday morning asking us to hurry down and pick up this noisy box of "cheep-cheeping" chicks. Although I'm generally VERY critical of the government postal system, we've been pleased with the efficiency in delivering live chicks.(posted 8952 days ago)
