Going to Tractor Supply was a mistake

Maybe TSC should just put the chicks on every end cap in line at the register, like stores do, with candy & gum. That way, everyone will buy at least one or two! The whole situation seems "FOWL" to me!

My daughter and I are both victims of chicken math...so far this year we only have gotten 7, but that will inevitably change soon...and it's only March...

I have about 300 of these adorable little boogers at my work right now. It's SO HARD not to bring them home, but I already have the max chickens for my current set up.
Pictured are some true Cornish Rock chicks...they fell asleep while eating.

Try to hold out for Easter-Eggers. They are great birds to raise. jmo

Oh yeah, we already have a bunch of Easter eggers! They were part of last year's collection of TSC chicks!

Well, I went to buy some food and oyster shells, and the peeping of chicks floated over to me. I was over there before I even realized. Debating, debating.... ah heck it, no one will care if you get a few, right? I ended up coming home with four chicks. A polish, a buff Orphington, a gold laced Wyandotte, and a bantam. No one can blame me, right? Now I have to deal with what my family will think about me getting more chickens...

Does the chick in the last pic have feathered legs? Comb type?

Feathered legs and a straight comb. I think frizzled too.

This happened to me today. Posting with my wife's account. I grabbed 4 but she stopped me from getting more. They had a nice variety this morning. However one of my barred rocks doesn't stop peeping, she starts up as soon as we leave the room. The others are resting peacefully but she's a little spaz right now. Hoping she just wants us to be in the room, they have food, water, and right temperature. Never had a baby constantly chirp
