I'm at a loss with trying to figure out what these ducklings are. They're a gray and off yellow color. Any guesses? They came from TSC assorted ducklings, but TSC gets them from Hoover's hatchery in my area.
This will be the 4th time I have bought a group of chicks at TSC on a whim and am swayed by the cuteness of a baby Golden Sebright 😂But now I have 2 adult GS hens and don’t need or want another. They aren’t my favorite breed; smart but not very friendly imo.
So I thought this chick was a OEG...
Looking for an app to determine identity of chickens. I recently bought colored egg layers from tsc and wanted to know what they are I’ve now got them to 7 weeks
Yes, I’m one of those guys who thinks I’m hilarious. Just bought these cuties yesterday and am grateful for a wealth of wisdom and information that will keep me from losing my mind as I experience the agony and ecstasy (yes, I can also be melodramatic) of chicken husbandry.
Hi all!
I bought a few bantams at TS this past week and was told that I got silkies, and/or old English game breed. I know there is only one Silkie because it’s the only one with black beak, skin and feet. It has five toes on one foot and 6 on the other! I’ll show you, it got pushed into water...
(1) I just got my first 4 baby chicks 4-27-21!
(2) I have 2 Rhode Island Reds/2 Buff Orpingtons(time will tell) and 2 silver lace black Wyandottes.
(3) I'm looking forward to getting to know their personalities and eat their eggs!
(4) I enjoy reading when I actually get the chance, listening...
First time chicken owner here, and I was wondering if anyone else had trouble with their heated chicken tools breaking very quickly. I have a coop heater and heated water bottle that both came from tractor supply, and both stopped heating after about 4 weeks. The water bottle actually only...
So, at the beginning of this year, I finally got a new flock of hens after mourning the loss of my original flock of four black sex link hens. My current flock came in three separate sets of chicks from Ace Hardware and Tractor Supply, and the Tractor Supply in the town I was living in at the...
Bought a package of what was advertised a “Barred Rock Chicks” in March from local Tractor Supply Company. 100% they are not Barred Rock Chicks. They also appear to be possibly a mix of black sex link Barred Rock/Rhode Island Red crosses. Also seem to be mostly roosters? Like 8 of them. A...
Hi all! I finally couldn't resist not getting some little ducklings. So I did. Yesterday we got 5 ducklings from TSC, 3 yellow and 2 brown ones. The brown ones seem to me to be golden layer 300 ducks in the female coloration, not sure if the 3 yellow ones are pekin, white layer, or buff. One of...
So, I just started working at tsc, well, I’ve never seen this in any of my feed bags or anything but I saw a whole bunch of little things crawling on some bags at the tsc I work at, i told my manager and she said they’re just grain mites. Gross!
She said they would come home with someone if...
I've got 5-week-old bantam's. I know one (not pictured) is a gold sebright but I can't settle on the others for certain. They all looked like chipmunks when they were little little. Got them assorted from TSC.
Thoughts?
I purchased 5 assorted bantam chicks at TSC today.
One is clearly a porcelain D’Uccle.
The other four (2 buff & 2 red) are (I assumed) Cochins.
However, while taking care of some pasty butt on some of them, I noticed one of the red chicks has 5 toes!
ALL four of these chicks have feathered...
I got my first set of 5 chicks from a TSC here in Southern California in March 2018. We have had 3 die of Marek's disease (confirmed by necropsy at UC Davis) but my last 2 girls are doing great. They are unvaccinated though from what we were told by the sales person. I was wondering if it was ok...
Last week I ordered 10 chicks from TSC. I ordered the “color egg production pack” linked here: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/color-egg-production-pack-chicken-sold-in-quantities-of-10
I got the chicks last week and all of them look really similar. Not only that, but the hatchery...
