Are all tsc chicks straight run? I live in an area where I cant have rooster(noise ordinance) and id rather not spend 100 dollars in online chickens for my first flock.
At least in southern NY state they have pullets as well as straight runs. I know I've heard some poor reviews of TSC around here, but I'll share this story with you: on Sunday, my husband and I went to our favorite TSC, and witnessed a crowd of people around the chick set up. Since we were there to look at the chicks anyway we wandered over. The dept. manager was having a hard time explaining that he couldn't just sell one chick, even if it was injured- since the chicks were getting too big to be all together in the cages, they were starting to peck and draw blood from the emerging pin feathers. But he said that he could give us, the group surrounding, a deal on the standard 6 chicks. DH spoke up after there was no response from the crowd and asked what kind of deal, if we took all 32 of them. The dept. manager told us if we took all, it would be a quarter a bird! Now, I don't know if that is allowed by the company, or SOP, but we now have 32 chicks! Oh, and to keep with the topic, these are 32 pullets.
I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. My local TSC, (Woodstock, Va.), carries "Straight Run" chicks and "Pullets" of different breeds. They are kept in separate containers by breed, straight run and pullets. You pay less for straight run chicks.
As for the noise ordinance in your area.....most areas have an ordinance, if you live close to a township, but the ordinance begins at a certain hour of the day. You might check to see if this is true in your area. The ordinance in my area begins at 8pm. My chickens are roosting at that time of the evening so there's no crowing going on from my roo....lol.
Good luck
