A Charter full of Chicks

From time to time we get some unconventional calls to charter wedding cakes or heart valves or BABY CHICKS! These provide additional fun because they are so unique!


A few years ago, we received a phone call from a local hatchery needing to charter baby chicks! The chicks were packaged as 300 cartons, 24x19x7 inches, 3000 pounds total. Each box had 100 baby chicks in it. Once we secured a DC3 aircraft we jumped at the opportunity and even helped with loading. The chicks are like little balls of heat and sometimes die due to excessive heat. Luckily it was a cool evening and no fatalities occurred.


All air charters are unique and each of our customers needs is handled with the same enthusiasm as with the chicks charter. We all enjoy the reward of helping to fulfill our customer's needs, whether it is transporting baby chicks or rushing brake parts to a waiting assembly line!
