You had to be near the phone when they arrived. Clerk didn't want to listen to them and couldn't feed 'em...

You did that too? I think we got one or two dozen. Newly hatched chicks don’t have to eat for 24 hours, after that they drop like flies. Ours arrived by rail, and we were at the depot throwing scratch feed to then as soon as they got off the train. Great memories.
