Per Jean:

Just a general announcement that USPS is changing the carrier for express services. This includes Priority Mail and Express Mail which we use for shipping hatching eggs and lives. They are changing from Fed Ex to UPS. This will start soon and will be finished by September 29th.

I am very concerned this may lead to the delay and death of lives while they sort out their routes. I recommend caution when shipping anything until we have more information about the completion of the transfer of services. I have left a message at my local distribution center and may have to call higher ups. I will inform you all when I find out more information.

Our egg color reference card was restocked today! Reviews have all been positive so far!
