Baby chicks in the mail! These fluffy yellow peeps came in a sturdy cardboard box separated into 4 sections. Father picked them up at the local post office, where they arrived from the chick supplier.
This was an exciting time as we placed them in a larger containment in the brooder house, under a hood with heating lights. However, if it was too cold outside, my parents might place them in a large container in our farmhouse kitchen untill the weather changer.
I didn't realize this practice (baby chicks in the mail) still existed. However, on a stop at our local post office in spring, I heard a peeping sound. I inquired and discovered, YES, baby chick still arrived in the mail.
