OK I live in the Houston Texas area. PLENTY of TS's around -- about 6 within a decent drive of my house and/or work. I have literally chased ALL OVER trying to get specific chicks, all to no avail.
You would THINK if TS has a "featured breed" such as Blue Andaluseans they would order enough they wouldn't be COMPLETELY sold out within 4 hours. HELLO?!!!! I have to work. I don't stay home so I can run over to TS when the chicks come in on TUESDAY or THURSDAY mornings. I only wanted 3-4 of those Chicks. I've also tried when the Fayoumis were the featured breed. Called two different TS's and basically their answer was "oh we have a few left -- if you can get here before they're gone.......". And I try. I REALLY do. But..... I'm chick-less.
Then they say "well we do special orders. we can order them for you and just tack them on with our next order". Great I think -- I'll just do that. "Oh, but our minimum is 25". OK so that's out.
Then I ask "when I call if you have them can I just pay for 3-4 and you hold them till I get off work?" Nope, they don't do that.
WHY doesn't TS ORDER enough chicks to "go around"? Hey, order 100 of the specialty chicks, and only 25-50 of the standard Production Reds, or Leghorns, etc. that I see left-over from week to week. Can't they figure this out???? It isn't Rocket Science.
ARGHHHHHH!!!
