For the first time last week, we shipped out chicks! We had two orders to go out, one to Edmonton and the other all the way to Toronto - a big flight from Victoria! Over the winter my dad built me some pretty skookum shipping boxes, they are totally reuseable and good for a decent number of chicks, probably 60+. These orders were for around 30 chicks each, and they fit nicely into 3 compartments with some room to spare. I was so anxious to be sending my little babies half way around the country but things at the airport went very well, super smooth and they were very good. It's not the first time they have shipped chicks and they took good care of them!
So pleased to report that all the babies made it to their destination, even after the little ones to Toronto had a 13 hour day! It's been 4 days now since they arrived at their new homes and still not a single death. I am so pleased

The thought of shipping live chicks would make me anxious too. Very glad to hear everything worked out. Also good to know flying live birds can be done smoothly and safely.
