Chickening out on snail mail: Man airlifts 1K chicks to Penticton amid Canada Post strike fears

From Global News.

A thousand baby chicks recently took to the skies, flying from Alberta to Kelowna on a WestJet flight — and they landed chirping happily.

“They all look pretty happy — they had a nice flight in,” said Johnny Aantjes, owner of the Feedway in Penticton, B.C.

The Feedway is a pet and livestock feed business that also sells farm-fresh eggs, baby chicks and chickens.

With the threat of a Canada Post strike looming, Aantjes made the call to switch from ground transport to air — a decision that’s quickly becoming the new norm for the farm.
