Thousands of Abandoned Chicks Find New Homes | JQJO

Over 5,000 chicks, abandoned in a postal truck for three days, have been adopted. Initially part of a 12,000-bird shipment, thousands perished due to heat and lack of care. The surviving chicks, including turkeys and quails, were rescued by the First State Animal Center and SPCA in Delaware and adopted by local families, farms, and rescues. The U.S. Postal Service is investigating the incident, while the hatchery cited biosecurity concerns for not reclaiming the birds.
