Best thing about chick days- meeting other chicken ppl at the chick bins! Lady I met today wrangled a worker and made her change tetra chicks to a dry bin because they were "drabbling". Waterer had leaked and soaked entire bin, chicks were looking pretty bad. As soon as one went down the lady...

Since chick days started at my tsc they haven't had anything more than cornish cross, then red sex links and rhode island reds, then yesterday tetras. I so wish they'd get something not so production like sicilians. Mine hasn't even gotten bantams yet. I've been told no one at our tsc actually...

Just called our tsc to see if chicks were in yet. Cornish rock straight run is all they got and they don't know when next shipment will be in or what they will be cuz word hasn't been sent down yet she said. Bummer!

I think it depends on the person working at the time. Some folks just reach right in and the person working just doesn't know how to politely tell them they can't or they are just want to avoid conflict to make the sale. I wouldn't let my kids grab chicks or ducklings in the bins but that is my...

Dh and brother installed wood stove yesterday but had to cut main power for about an hour. 15 minutes after power was cut I yelled 'u cut power to my incubator!' Then my panic subsided cuz it's was only day 3 so it will just slow development if any of the test eggs are viable anyhow. I can't...

Local co op is ordering from same hatchery as tsc but arrival in may. There deal is 25 standard production pullets for $50! Awesome deal but I don't need that many and I lean towards rare 'cool' breeds that others (no one it seems) don't have around here. Hey, niche market for me! Gotta spread...

Another advantage of chick days- just bought a circulated air incubator on sale!! I've been wanting an incubator but not still air after reading stuff on here but I also didn't want to pay hindreds of dollars. The one I got had everything included- candler, hygrometer and egg turner for just...

Hubby got a chainsaw for firewood- upside for me is he said he'd clear a section of the woods for me to build the big coop I drew out months ago. That tells me he knows I'll be getting more chicks! Come on tsc..get those chicks in:-) watch for the coupon pamphlet too- I picked one up today and...

Tell me about it! Lol, I was comparing prices for several hatcheries of all the breeds I want originally thinking I'd never come up with minimum requiements. The count quickly reached 80/85 chicks since most have u order no less than 5 of each breed. $300 and I'd have all the breeds I want until...

Ours got pushed back until 25th:-( they order from mt healthy. I wonder if tri cities area does too? Mt healthy doesn't sell anything unique- layers and meaties.

I was talking about how I would like to have some arocaunas for blue eggs and the hubby actually got interested enough to talk about them with his coworkers yesterday. Hubby asked me what they were called again so I told him all the names EE's are called. His coworkers said they'd never heard of...

Appalachian region here- was supposed to start on 11th but switched to 18th. Should have started the 11th because it was in the 60's, calling for snow over the weekend when the first chicks should be in transit. Our tsc chicks come from mt. Healthy so no fancy ones- mostly layers/ common breeds...
