A Delaware animal shelter is urgently seeking homes for over 8,000 chicks that were discovered abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days. An additional 4,000 chicks were found dead upon arrival. The shipment, which originated from Freedom Ranger Hatchery, was intended for various farms but failed to be delivered due to a USPS mistake. Conditions in the truck did not allow for food, water, or temperature control. While the hatchery has expressed concern, USPS is working to improve procedures to prevent future occurrences.
USPS said it is working to 'prevent such incidents in the future' after discovering that a box of baby chicks was left undelivered, resulting in thousands dead.
Freedom Ranger Hatchery states that this loss has compounding effects on many small family farms across America that were relying on these birds for their businesses.
