The girl behind the counter was extremely nervous, but apparently this is not an uncommon way to transport them.Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02098091536260181395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333200854413285787.post-75402453274302781592009-09-26T14:19:16.721-05:002009-09-26T14:19:16.721-05:00I am terribly disturbed at the tought of mail-orde...I am terribly disturbed at the tought of mail-order chicks and ducklings.Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274171469994395786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333200854413285787.post-88231363253560803052009-09-26T12:58:21.174-05:002009-09-26T12:58:21.174-05:00The Icelandic sheep are local, and I'm thinkin...The Icelandic sheep are local, and I'm thinking we're going to hold off until spring and look at the youngin's then. No, they don't send sheep through the mail! Chickens are unique, because they don't need to eat or drink the first couple of days of life. They still have their egg whites in them, at that point. <br><br>I'm assuming they'll send them one day mail!
