This farmer has a dead chicken problem. He blames a Virginia post office: 'It's pretty unfortunate'

At least twice, when he went to pick them up, he heard nothing.

"Two times, we've had 90-90%+ mortality. And then several other instances, three or four separate times, we've had mortality that's definitely higher than we would expect normally, which is 10-20%, which is still a problem, and sort of indicates some potential mishandling because it's so atypical," he said.

The business changed hatcheries to hone in on the issue. But both the folks at Pamplin Poultry, and the hatcheries they've been in communication with, believe the problem may stem from the Sandston Regional Processing and Distribution Center near Richmond, Virginia.
