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.

Most hatcheries will only ship in batches as the more chicks shipped the greater the body heat provided.

When do you put young chicks in chicken pen?
So it is time to take your baby chicks that you have been brooding for about 5 weeks to the chicken pen. First make sure the chicks are all feathered out, make sure that the temperature does not fall below 70 degrees and if it does make sure you still have heat lamps set up. The cold temperatures at night can be the biggest problem as the chicks will naturally huddle for warmth the ones on the bottom of the pile will suffocate.
How do you know if a baby chick is cold?
If you have other chicks they wil all bunch together if they are cold. If they are just right they all sould be happy and walking around. You sould have them in a box with a heat lamp over them. If they are to hot they will stay out of tha heat lamps way.
