Chickens... Ok, Patty keeps talking about her little puffballs(baby chicks), I thought I'd show a picture of the ones I handle! Here they are all ready to be put on the truck and shipped all over the country. You can't see them very well in this picture, but the boxes are full of ventilation holes. I can see the chicks thru the holes. Each of these boxes contains lots of baby chicks, so the noise level is high on "Chicken day" as we like to call Mondays and Wednesdays. Those are the days the local hatchery hatches out chicks and mails them. They have so many hours from the hatching to mailing in order to be able to mail them Priority. If they wait beyond the time limit, they have to mail them Express. This week, however, chicken duties are falling to another clerk as they want me up front to help handle the extra customers at the window that tax day brings.
