In addition, when ordering baby chicks in particular, if we did keep your payment information and wait to charge you on hatch day, if there were some problem with the transaction, it would create a BIG problem for the baby chicks! Living baby chicks are not like books or electronics, and can't simply be placed back on the shelf if the transaction doesn't go through. They must be shipped the same day they hatch in order to arrive at their destination safely.
