Did I get what I asked for?

Omg can we all do a protest march on TSC

I never buy from TSC because they have a six chick minimum and I think for local sales that's silly. Three is reasonable. Plus a lot of the people who report sick young chicks on here seem to have TSC stock.

Every spring on BYC, never fails.
@Hardy930 your chicks are very adorable but no, not silkies. Please contact tractor supply and have your invoice/sales receipt ready.

I do want to add the technically I don’t think it’s TS’s fault, they were just the middle man. Hoover’s Hatchery was their supplier and they were sent directly to me from them. I spent 15 mins (after being told my wait time was 4 mins) on hold with TS but never got to speak to a real person. I hung up called Hoover Hatchery and got a real person and she’s sending a new batch of Silkies but have to wait until May 8th for them to ship.

But now I have to rehome 10 cute chicks! I did look these breeds up and while the Sebright is gorgeous (wish I could keep them) but I have my heart set on as my husband calls them muppet chickens

Anyone close to Delaware want these?

Check to see if there are any local Facebook chicken groups (I live in north Alabama and there are three near me, with a network of about 3,500 people) and post them up on there, I'm sure a ton of people would jump on them. I rehomed three silkies in less than an hour this way.

You can put them up on Craigslist under the farm and garden section too.

Does TSC sort their bantams? I thought they were assorted. But maybe that's just in stores.
Anyways, I'm jealous. I have 2 d'Uccles myself. They are just as sweet as silkies, but they are smarter, more savvy, less broody, and absolutely gorgeous!
I wish I could take them, but I can only have pullets :,(

Silkies are the perfect broody hen, I had one that was broody constantly.

Yep. I know

This was taken last year. The black one was put down due to illness and the white one was killed by a weasel recently
Interesting, my silkies and polish were the first to go in the attacks.
