tractor supply sold 2 cornish chickens by mistake.. they are HUGE is their anyway i can keep them from growing to large?

Generally... eat them. They are meant for butcher and quickly start to have health problems if not butchered.

Greetings from Kansas, foust17, and

! You can do a couple things to slow their growth which will help with potential health problems - they will continue to grow but it will be slower.
1. Don't give them food 24/7. Give them food for 12 hours and 12 hours off.
2. Make them walk to get their food - great exercise for them - otherwise they are content to just camp out by the feeder.
3. A lower protein feed.

Good luck and have fun!

Is there any way TSC would take them back and exchange for others?

Call them and ask. If you're the non-confrontational type or message me your zip code. I'm not doing anything. Ill call and ask.
