    Tractor Supply Employee Knowledge About Chicks

    Quote: I was at my local TSC today and the guy working actually knew where the chicks come from....Privett Hatchery!

    Thought it was safe to go to the feed store. Need to file a complaint

    That's so funny! I stopped by TS today to get some chicken wire to finish up the coop I'm working on and left there with 11 baby chicks! They did have signs at the store I was at...Assorted Bantams. I think I have some Blue Cochin Bantams in my batch. They had all pullets the day before and...

    Hello from NC
