I have shipped lots of day old Bob Whites. I know mother nature gives them early food. Question is has any one shipped chicks that have been fed for a week with good results. It scares me but have a some one that wants 1-2 week old birds.

Larry,

I can't see this working on any quanity of chicks 1-2 weeks old going through the U.S. Mail. It may work with an independent trucking company.

They are in need of constant fresh water and a food source. Lack of food and water will start cannibalism unless you can keep each bird separate.

....and no I have never shipped birds other then day old chicks.
