Ok, I moved the furniture
This will do for now




The chicks made it to Tacoma at 9:50am so they should be to my post office soon

so Seabeck Post Office only gets one truck a day ,, at 7:30am,, the post office does not open until 8:30am,,,,,,Tacoma is one hour 30min away,,,, shall I be one of those people and go sit in the parking lot and wait for the truck and demand my chicks as soon as they open the truck??? and tick off the USPS

I left the house just as I got a email notice 7:38- got to the post office at 8 - didn’t get a call- I went in the lobby- went to the man door for the back room, heard the gentleman say, those chicks are awfully quiet did a call go out—- I knocked.
He came to the food and I asked for my chicks.
Three were DOA, sped home.
It was chick ER
As of this moment I have 2 breathing but questionable- 5 napping- 8 hopped up on honey water

It's so sad to wait and have losses. Others have reported issues with chick & duckling shipment losses this year. Probably more than I've heard in a while.
