Our brand new local TSC got chicks in yesterday so naturally we went to check it out. I was disappointed. They had 5 bins labeled "Assorted Red" Pullets, "Assorted Bantams", "Assorted Yellow Chicks", "Assorted Ducklings" and "Cornish Rock".

After each "assorted color" they listed about 8 different breeds that could be mixed in that batch. And they were all straight run and ranged from $1.99 to $4.99 each, for some unknown breed and unknown sex! We laughed and walked out.

Both our TSC & Agway get their chicks from Mt. Healthy. Both have similar brooder set ups and the chicks seem clean and healthy. I will only buy my chicks from Agway as TSC orders a lot of straight run chicks which may be mixed together with similar breeds. TSC orders a very limited selection of breeds where as my Agway gets a wide variety of breeds mostly in sexed pullets not straight run. Agway will also special order any breed Mt Healthy carries for you. Agway also does not have a minimum amount of chicks you need to purchase. The chicks are a couple of cents each more at my Agway but worth it.

Is there any way to know on their website what breeds each TSC store will carry? Or are they all the same?

it's my understanding TSC is not ran all alike, each one gets chicks from different places and different start and end times.

My guess would be to call the store

They do have a flyer for ordering chicks

Best to call the store

Do most of them have ducklings as well?

 

[wantedman66]

Yes they have ducks as well and I have to say ours has a very good selection of chicks both sexed pullets and straight run that changes every week. the only thing I will say is when you get strait run ive noticed that they seem to have a larger % of roo's .Last year there selection included everything from brahmas to partridge rocks and glw's just to name a few.

Ours also locks them in a cage in the large bins. Ours are labeled by each breed as well, no mixing going on down here.
