The chicks were left abandoned due to a "misdirected" shipment, according to the Delaware Department of Agriculture.

Spring is finally here! The days are getting longer, the grass is getting greener, and your chickens? They’re ready to party.

The USPS says it has been working with hatcheries for more than 100 years to transport mail-order chicks and that it transports thousands of chicks every year, according to its website.
