Fun fact: USPS still ships livestock
Less fun fact: USPS in recent years has been stacking things on the chicken boxes :(
Ah that probably sucks :/. I'm guessing it harms the chickens somehow?
That's where the air holes are :(
Oh... That's not where the air holes should be. Not the only air holes, at least. There are rules for what containers can get approved for mailing chickens.
🤔 Now that I think about it, I vaguely remember there being some specs for crush resistance too, so maybe stacking is normal practice?
I used to ship lots of things, but never animals, so my knowledge and memory of this is pretty fuzzy. Seems like some rules were broken to end up in that situation though... which still sucks
I think I got a farming while beige video about it a while ago, this seems like it likely could have been it.
