    The Lone Silkie Rescue

    We have a lone silkie that was raised by a teen for a project and out grew her home. She was raised in the girls closet and then transferred to the garage once she became older/ too much to handle. We thought we could integrate her into our silkie coop but she doesn’t seem to understand she is...

    Protected coop ideas for Polish

    We have been in the business of chickens for well over a decade and recently got 8 Polish. They are just at 8 weeks and I believe we have 2 males in the bunch. My daughter is in love with these things so they have become her flock. I need ideas for a protected coop since the obviously can’t...

    What do y'all think?

    I’ll look, but I just power washed my porch and got rid of any bags that may have had some. I literally gave the last bit I found to my ducks last week. I may have some stashed in a feeder in storage….

    What do y'all think?

    No, I kept them if they survived which were few and far between considering how long it was before the employees realized they were struggling in those tower brooders. My store did not seem to know how to keep the temperatures regulated and we’re losing the majority of shipments within 24hrs. I...

    What do y'all think?

    Our flock of over 20 stopped laying this past August. We had exclusively feed TSC Producers Pride for the past 5 years until last month. Originally I thought they were too hot, sick or all were molting. Time when on and I was deeply denying it was the feed. I really thought it was bird flu or...

    I have a broody mama duck in a mobile coop isolated from the rest of our roaming chickens and ducks. what kind of water setup should she have for when the babies are born? She had a small pool but babies won’t be able to access it so I’m looking to remove it for a regular watered until they...

    Help identifying these little ones

    The white one is a silkie but the other two look like possible barred variety bantams

    Help (not super important but I need some help)

    There will always be that one person making hurtful comments, never fails. They obviously know how much you love them and are doing it because they likely find it funny. You can block them when posting your pictures or posts about the ducks and still remain friends. If they realize that they...

    TSC survivors need some ID help

    My babies are doing well and I have 5 standard chicks and 5 bantams. Any idea on what we have in our mystery brooder? They are getting along well despite being a mix of bantam and standards. I have two black silkies that aren’t pictured but these are the pictures of the ones stumping me...

    TSC chicks keep dying despite ideal conditions

    Just wanted to update this thread...After talking with our local TSC manager yesterday and today (I’m spending way to much time at TSC, lol) he let me know that corporate is very aware of the issues and have placed some protocols in place with the affected stores to figure out the problem. I’m...

    TSC chicks keep dying despite ideal conditions

    Just got back from TSC, our manager is great! We chatted about the incidents and he seemed genuinely concerned. They have had batches showing up with all dead chicks that were in transit way too long. He also said that they have done checks on the brooders and sanitized them as well which is...

    TSC chicks keep dying despite ideal conditions

    I’m planning on heading over today to talk to the manager for a refund and will ask since I am also curious on the hatchery.

    TSC chicks keep dying despite ideal conditions

    I agree, I was super impressed with the new brooder but maybe there was some paint fumes that didn’t burn off completely or a learning curve with the employee, I find it interesting that my ones who spent very little time in the brooder are doing well while the ones that spent over a day in the...
