I'm having some bad luck with chicks! I just picked up some meaties to replace the ones that died. I should have waited! I went to this dive of a feed store I have never been to, when I opened the door and lost my breath from the amonia smell I should've turned and left. But no, I bought chicks. The chicks were all stacked in containers, no heat lights, no food, no water and dead and dying ones in with them. The place was so cold the girl at the counter had a jacket on! Not to mention the chicks were starving as they sat there eating onion rings. It was insanity, I will never be going back there!!!
oh thats terrible, can i ask where that was? Also last year and this year i got some of my chicks at tractor supply and one benefit to that is that the chicks that are there already made it through the shipping process because TSC gets their chicks through USPS just like everyone else. And If one doesn't make it its their problem, even though it stinks when a chick dies... Also i got all of my meat chickens from blue seal in bow (concord) last year and not a single one died out of 35 and thats right up to process day!
