In this photo taken on April 23, 2015, Blain’s Farm and Fleet assistant manager Anne McSherry shows an example of the Cornish chicks sold at the store in Decatur, Ill. The store doesn't carry chicks every day in its copious animal husbandry section, but gets in several dozen twice a year. Store manager Jeff Kinsella said the chicks are actually posted to the business in a mailing that gives a whole new meaning to “air mail.” Once unpacked, Kinsella said, we have a cheeping scrum of chicken types with names like “Rhode Island Red,” “Cornish Cross” and even “Easter Egger.” Prices range from $1.99 to $2.99 each.
