In a tragic incident, thousands of chicks, along with some turkeys and quails, were abandoned in a postal service truck in Delaware for three days. Over 5,000 surviving birds were eventually rescued and taken in by a local animal shelter, where they were cared for until adopted by families, farms, and rescues. Many adopters sought them for egg-laying hens or as pets. The U.S. Postal Service is currently investigating the circumstances that led to this unfortunate event.
"Thousands of chicks, turkeys, and quails left abandoned in a postal truck have found new homes, with local families and rescues adopting most of them after surviving a harrowing experience."
"After enduring three days in high temperatures without food or hydration, the surviving birds – over 5,000 – were cared for by an overwhelmed shelter and have now been adopted out."
