Shipment of thousands of chicks left in USPS truck. Overwhelmed shelter needs help adopting them

A Delaware animal shelter is caring for thousands of chicks abandoned in a postal truck for three days, leading to many deaths before their discovery on May 2. The USPS acknowledged a process breakdown and is investigating how 12,000 chicks were left at a mail distribution center, with the hatchery unable to reclaim them due to biosecurity concerns. Currently, over 2,000 surviving chicks are at the shelter, and while adoptions have begun, financial strain is a significant concern as the shelter seeks support for ongoing care.
