Bird sellers are screwed this year.

[aart]

Well, many people bought all their feed and fencing and feeders and waterers and other supplies from TSC, expecting to establish a little cottage industry for themselves. Things apparently vary in different regions as far as sales go but for me, I had few sales until TSC stopped selling chicks each Spring. Then after everyone is invested, they change the game and keep selling chicks until August.
So they took my money for equipment and supplies and then cut my throat by suddenly extending their loss leader through the summer.

Welcome to the world of Supply and Demand.
I got big bucks last year hatching and selling sexlinked Olive Egger chicks.
This year everyone around was doing much the same.
I knew it would happen, so <shrugs> didn't hatch many this year.

I asked for the exact dimensions of the openings and the manufacturer provided a schematic. It turns out that the bottom holes were a good bit bigger than they claimed and my hens were able to squeeze through.

Why it's always best to examine a product yourself before buying,
I keep a tape measure in my vehicle for just this reason.

They are deleting negative reviews from the TSC website, making their reviews completely worthless.

Typical of many websites......and why all reviews should be taken with many grains of salt.

False equivalency. The people who hindered your business were not the same people who profited from you investing in it.

I've submitted dozens of reviews to Amazon. They publish both the positive and negative reviews.

My chick sales were just a story.

This still applies:
