    Help ID some TSC chicks for me please

    My best guess(es) on the white chicks would be White Rock or possibly Cornish Rock Cross. The black chicks might be Black Australorps. https://www.backyardchickens.com/reviews/australorp.10831/

    Covid-panic-induced chicken keeping?

    Starting over after several years

    Starting over after several years

A week or so ago I stumbled across this site while looking for the contact info of some of the hatcheries I used to use. Didn't exactly find what i was looking for...
