Ducks and chicks in the same trough at TSC

[Stoney Meadow Maple]

Was at TSC for unrelated reasons, they had chicks and they had ducks, but they were mixed, said assorted ducks,boy wouldn’t that be a surprise to someone! Perhaps in other areas it’s different but the dimmer switch has been turned down on many of our local TSC employees.
They all looked like Pekins to me but who knows. Also this little dude on the feeder was pretty cool, not sure how he got there but he was quite proud of himself!

Ah, TSC. Sold my friend a guinea keet as an easter egger.

Perhaps they do not know the difference between beaks and bills? Webbed feet and non-webbed feet?

I think that she just asked for 4 EE chicks and just let the TSC employees get them set up.

What did she do with the guinea keet?

Just kept it, I think. Her parents run a farm.

Never gone there, not planning too

Apparently it has since passed away, not from poor care but I believe it was weak from the beginning.

I got my original 6 from TSC, beginning of Covid, lost one at 2 weeks to an unfortunate accident the other 5 have been pretty good. At least issues I’ve had I can’t blame TSC for. It’s like everything else there, sometimes you get lucky, I won’t buy ducks from them again, but mainly I now know more and want what I want. I worry how many impulse birds get bought and neglected or worse.
