The mystery ones people expect to be light brahma that I got were from TSC in Plainfield! Were yours from there or the Orchard store? @Delawaremommy

 

[Nyla]

I will be going to Saint John Tractor Supply in a few hours. Will be taking pictures of their chicks!

I'm getting a laying Welsummer hen tonight! I can't wait for some of those pretty dark brown eggs!

Two poor dead little chicks in the bantam bin at Tractor Supply on Brookville road today. My daughter was the first one to the chicks and yelled for me- I knew something was horribly wrong from the tone in her voice. I had to practically tackle the closest employee (someone I'd never seen before) to get her to listen to me and she was completely emotionless, like she was going to remove a cracked water lid. Very disturbing. Almost all those poor babies had pasty but too. Some pretty bad. I was reminded why I will not buy from tractor supply.

Someone please post some happy birdie pictures! We are traumatized!

So sorry for you and your daughter's trauma! I do believe each TSC is different in regards to how they manage their chicks. Some are very diligent.

Here are some chick photos I have handy on my phone.

This one is Walnut. I'm hoping it's a boy, to carry on my blue egg gene project. He/she is a second generation Easter "Legger"

Phone/internet acting up. I'll post more photos if it lets me.

Turkeys are so curious, it even starts in the incubator! They just had to watch my every move.

Hello, from the Fort Wayne area!

Hey all. New to BYC since yesterday and have spent quite a bit of time on here. Indiana girl all my life. Fairly new to raising chickens just about 7 months now.I have 6 hens laying I was given last fall. The chicken math got me pretty quickly. I'm up to 18 birds now. They are filling my empty nest syndrome quite well.

Hello @redchicken25 and @sdunmoyer ! Glad to see you both! We'd love to see some photos of your birds too!
