    TSC chicks keep dying despite ideal conditions

    I'm with you on that. I get a lot of supplies from Tractor Supply but have heard too many negative stories about buying anything live from them. Plus as we've discussed already, I've seen too many batches of chicks that just didn't look healthy. And the fact that ducklings have had health issues...

    TSC chicks keep dying despite ideal conditions

    Next time I go to our local tractor supply, I'll be curious to see what they do. It's about time, I think, for fall chicks to arrive.

    TSC chicks keep dying despite ideal conditions

    I am a TSC customer, but I'll have to admit I would be a little bit reluctant to get chicks from them, at least not from our local store anyway. I've often looked at them, and I've often seen a lot that looked droopy. But sometimes you just get a bad batch, no matter where you get them. I got 8...
