On the website www.mypetchicken.com, live chickens are sent to people through mail. It says on their page that: "And when you order fewer than 15 chicks we automatically send them via USPS Express Mail, which is the fastest way under the sun to ship baby chicks." although: "Losses are rare (we see them happen about 1% of the time), but they do occur. For that reason, we recommend that if you have children, make sure they are not around when you open the package."
