Just got a text from hubby. Too many quail to count accurately. He's saying 6-8ish. His words "a little gaggle of em"

Somebody come finish this invoice for me so I can go home!!
(I know, if I weren't posting, I'd be closer to done, but my eyes needed a break!)

Hello all. Does anyone know who supplies chicks for Tractor Supply and Family Farm and Home?
My first 20 chicks are from FFH and I had one just for. I went to TS and they made me buy 6 chicks or none. 2 died within an hour of getting them home. Not to mention even for Bantam chicks these things are TINY! Like the side of a fifty cent piece. Is that normal? Fyi new the chickens so thanks in advance.

From what I've read, the TSC's are supplied by different suppliers. Depends on your area. But I've also been told that they will usually tell you where they came from if you ask.

They wouldn't tell me. I just know I would NOT order from the supplier.

So I'm trying to decide whether to cull one or both of my roosters, so I candled my Orloff eggs. Looks like none of the shipped ones are doing anything and some of mine are clear, too.

Looks like I'll be keeping one for a while longer.

Thanks WV and Ravyn. I'm not an Orloff "breeder", just a hobbyist. So I'm a little bummed, not a huge tragedy. Was hoping to get a few more on the ground so I could grow out and keep the best Quad next year. I got three from last batch - super hard to sex for a looooooong time, and we'll see what I get from this batch.

All the Valentine's babies are thriving though, so I should have a few more layers toward the end of the year - unless they are all cockerels.

I was looking at one of the "Australorps with yellow feet" and look, she's got white on her neck.

WV is right. They switch suppliers year to year depending on who is the cheapest. TSC has sold good chicks, and they have sold bad. They make a killing on impulse buys, people that see the little chicks and just can't resist. The majority of those are people that don't know there are many, many more options for better chicks locally
