Hi Everyone. We previous searched for others experiences ordering Cornish Cross from Tractor Supply but there did not seem to be much. So we figured we will share our on going experience.
We ordered the chicks on Friday 10/8/21. Straight forward online order. Didn't get any updated til Wednesday [I also called Hoover on Wednesday, they stated Tractor Supply doesn't have their expected shipping dates correct, which can vary with the season. At this time (off season) they only ship chicks on Wednesday. Ours were awaiting pick up].
[Note: Last night (Thursday the 4th) we received an email from TSC that our item was delayed. Seems this might be further illustration of poor communication with the supplier as they arrived as expected]
This morning (Friday 10/15/21) we received a call that our chicks were at the post office ready for pick up. My Wife just picked them up and we received 10 chicks, all alive. We will update on their progress and share our experience.
Feel free to chime in, we are brand new to backyard chickens and are raising both layers and meat birds.
