    Flock Party Rising Chick 22%, 2022 Recall

    It happened to me today at TSC. The cashier noticed when the chick rising wouldn’t ring up and the screen said Recall/do not sell. That’s all she knew and I was the first one of the day it happened to. Is too bad because my chicks really like that kind. I give it as a treat.
