Friends of mine accidentally duplicated their chick order one year. (poor communication)

They ended up with 5400 chicks. The racket at the post office must have been deafening.
The post office is open on Sunday and call you to come get them asap.

I still fail to see how 2700 chicks would be considered reasonable. But I bet they were adorable!

My mom says that when she was little you could dye fertilized chicken eggs and the chicks would hatch with their fuzz stained whatever color the shell was dyed. A rainbow collection of chicks every Easter. Supposedly it was decided to be animal cruelty and the practice was stopped.

Grandfather got 50,000 baby chicks, three times a year.

They would have if it had been economically viable. The Post Office was the link to the outside world, Sears Roebuck, "Monkey" Ward, and the US Government.

I was filling Popdigr in on some of this, and he said that his Granddad once got five hundred quail chicks (chicks, not eggs, you can still get quail eggs by mail order) through the mail. Mailman told him to please come to the p.o. to get them ASAP.
