Me either. Yet the farm supply stores around here…like tractor supply can’t keep chicks in stock. They get a shipment in and then won’t sell any until 3 and by like 3:15 or earlier they are all gone. I have seen where they even have a chick limit on some.
Here is what it looks like today
It was crazy earlier this year, but already TSC and the other feed store have chicks being discounted/free with a bag of feed. I’m hoping I didn’t miss out on selling my chicks
We’re got a bunch of pullets we’re hoping to sell as coop ready too. Luckily most of the local community chicks that aren’t selling are BYM and I’ve got several pure pens set up
One of incubators quit during the night, during lockdown. By the time I found it, the eggs were cold. I saw that four had externally pipped, and expected them all to be dead, but then saw the slightest movement from the beaks of two (sadly the other two were indeed dead). I popped the two live pipped, plus the rest of the eggs into another incubator and hoped for the best. Miracle of miracles by 8pm one of the two (a Barred Plymouth Rock) actually zipped and hatched. It's now in the broader with the Blue Australorp chicks.
