Response to mail order chicken problems

I concur with another post-er earlier somewhere (precise comment!) about giving your post office a heads-up that they are coming. I don't remember all the details we made with Murray McMurray, but we arranged to receive our chicks on a Monday and had the Post Office call us as soon as they arrived. I was working at the time, and went in late to work (planned) so I could pick them up, bring them home and get them settled into their little enclosure. They were all nice and close in their box, peeping a lot! We lost 1 out of our order (ordered 25, and they sent us 28) the first day, and 2 in the next couple of days. We also got a cockerel who has turned into the nastiest rooster monster I have every had! But I would order from Murray McMurray and pick up at the Post Office again. We have ordered a lot from out local Co-op, but have had cross beaked chicks, and spraddle legged chicks, and all else to select from. And have had less than good results sometimes.
