Poultry Hollow Hatchery Experience and Poultry Hollow Hatchery Chick "Growth Chart" (PIC HEAVY) - Page 3

thank you ..I know some people just dont think about animals like we do..I guess they think they can care for them selves...I know we live in TN and puppy mills are really bad here we hear cases like that quit often around here..so sad...yes we will never buy anything from them ever again.

that is what I thought...and I also doubt that the polish that was sold as white is really white it looks more like either a mix between buff and white or buff.

that is what I am thinking...but no mater what color they are I will still love them 

they were also all sold and priced as 2 week old chicks...do you think that could be true...they are all so tiny compared to my other chickens at 2 weeks....when my older ones were 2 weeks they could barely fit into my hand...these are the size of our oldest ones when we first got them and they were 1 day old.

Growth update...I can tell that they are gaining weight they look perkier and healthier than when they were in the brooder at the hatchery

That is what I said....here is what I said to the owner.

Me: these chicks dont look like they are two weeks old, they are alot smaller then then ones I have at home when they were 2 weeks.

Her: How many chickens do you have at home?

Me: 33

Her: How many chicks do you think are in this brooder?

Me: I dont know Hmm...80?

Her: Well see, that is the reason, we try to keep the numbers low but there are still going to be bullies that wont let other eat. 

So she told us that the reason they are so little is because the bullies were not letting them eat.  I thought well they are all that size if what she said was ture why weren't the bullies big and fat?

I think they are only a few days old, and the reason she told us they were 2 weeks is so she could charge us more.

she was also a smart aleck
