President Trump kills baby chicks! News At Eleven!
```
More realistic
Resident Trump kills thousands of baby chicks! This completely avoidable tragedy taken with the 175,000 dead Americans from the Trump virus is one more reason he has to go! Joe n the Ho 2020
You need to watch some 90 Day Fiancée episodes, IMHO. LOL
At one time, you could mail children via the post office.

When I was into Egg Production big time, I had 50 hens producing at a time. I have received hundreds and hundreds of chicks thru the mail with only a few casualties. They even pack 52 in a crate when you’re paying for 50 because they know one, for sure, won’t make it.
This is a lot of chicken poop!
That said, it also shows us what a huge, slow, plodding MONSTER the Post Office is and that it is not lean and mean and nimble and able to handle CHANGES that inevitably happen TO ALL BUSINESSES!
Quit throwing money down a rat hole with this enterprise!
Sounds like they just need a market for the cooked chickens on arrival!
Read my post #25. It’s a real thing!
Also - all those baby chicks died from the Wuhan Flu!
They are too small to have a community barbecue.
Have ordered many chicks that were delivered to me via USPS. Never had any dead ones. This is sad and tragic.
It’s a common way to get chicks, especially if you want a unique breed. This time of year, you can hear peeping when you walk into our rural post office. They can go three days without food after hatching.
Yes, I got 5 chicks by mail last Feb. Darling. The postman brought them to my front door and told me he’d been hearing them chirping in the back of his truck all morning.
Chicks are OK without food and water for a day or two because other eggs are hatching under their mother and they have to be able to fend for themselves until all eggs are hatched.
They just need to be kept warm. They arrived to me in a little nest in a box with holes in it, and a little warming pad.
Very sad about all these chicks that died.
Pre this round of PO cuts, back in June, our daughter’s turkey poults were sent to a town on the Cape instead of Central Mass. All of them were dead when the postmaster drove them out. But I feel totally safe with them handling our ballots!
So that’s what happened to that hot blonde I ordered from “Chicks-R-Us.”
I have ordered chicks by mail a few times, the hatchery almost always adds an extra chick or two compensate for the ones that they expect to die in shipping but we’ve never lost any. I’ve only ordered during the winter and they put in a heat pack. I can’t imagine ordering in summer, especially with the way the mail is delayed. They can live a day or so off the yolk sac they absorbed just after hatching, but they are still pretty thirsty when they arrive.
In my experience they send it next day and you are expected to be available to pick them up right away at the post office when they arrive.
I much prefer to incubate my own chicks, but there has been a time or two that a predator has taken out my whole flock, one time it was a neighbor’s dog. Heartbreaking.
Heck. I’m so old, I remember TV variety shows with Go Go Girls dancing in big metal cages. The Shing-a-ling, The Swim, The Jerk and of course, The Twist!
I remember baby chicks being delivered by the USPS as far back as 65 years ago, at least.
“Millions of mail in ballots arrive dead...”
