Summary
Over 5,000 chicks, abandoned in a postal service truck for three days, have found new homes after being rescued by the First State Animal Center and SPCA in Delaware. The chicks were part of a shipment of 12,000 birds that suffered high mortality due to lack of food and hydration, prompting an investigation by the U.S. Postal Service. The surviving birds were adopted primarily by local families and farms, with the hatchery unable to reclaim them due to biosecurity regulations.
