And rest assured, you get a quick call from the postmaster when you have a box with holes in it peeping away! 😂

One of my favorite calls.

Um, we have a box here for you... And it's chirping.

The mailman was so excited he drove ours to our door before his shift started and asked if he could watch the box get opened.

As a kid growing up on a farm, I remember being on baby chick duty and would be stuck in the house waiting for the phone call that our chickens were at the post office. Our mail carrier wouldn’t deliver them (we received mail in a box on a rural route) so we would drive the 20 miles to the post office to pick up our cheeping package

We got a call the second they opened. “Please get your chicks, the peeping is driving us insane.”

I raised a few dozen chicks over a couple years as a teenager and the BEST morning had to be the one my mom woke me up by holding a peeping box beside me

Honestly the post office people are always so good with chicks. They flex and communicate. It is really a nice feeling.

I usually give my post office a heads up with my info. My info is usually on the outside of the box anyway but they appreciate the notice and I've never had an issue. I tell them to call, regardless of what time, and I will come pick them up. You can usually hear them when you walk in the building.

Or an early delivery from the postman! "Your box is peeping!"
