A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.

Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.

State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.

      Nah that’s not how it works. We all need nutrients and as long as those nutrients can be consumed in a bioavailable form it doesn’t matter (for the body) where they come from.

      Edit: just saw your profile and you seem to be a rage troll so I won’t be engaging further with you. Byee

        you aren’t my doctor or my nutritionist. you don’t know what I need, or anyone else.

        and people need more than nutrients

                it also requires aesthetic needs to be met, social needs, and self actualization. for many people, those may require that you, for instance, master french cuisine, or eat your grandmother’s lasagna, or just have hotdog and beer at the ballpark.
