Live shipping of day old chicks is done all the time. For up to 72 hours after they hatch the chicks are still ingesting their yolk sacs. This provides them all the nourishment they need. Chicks do not require food or even water for this period in their lives and survive quite well. Heat is the usual problem. Most hatcheries will only ship in batches as the more chicks shipped the greater the body heat provided.
