Question about chicks for sale at TSC

[guesswhatchickenbutt]

I was window-shopping at our TSC today and they have a sign up that says you must buy chicks in multiples of 6. We can only have 3 hens, so that wouldn't work for us...it's irrelevant since we're getting ours elsewhere, but I know that's a new rule.

I hope our local mom & pop feed store doesn't have minimum purchase requirements.... well it's not too mom and pop - it's the Tack Shack. I know they have them in other states.

Anyone know about chicks from the Tack Shack?

Good i will just give them the adress of the local police station along with the aress or some other thing.

I bought the minimum (6 chicks) yesterday at TSC but I wasn't required to fill anything out. Nor did they ask me any personal information. They did have a sign up saying that the state of TN now says you have to purchase a minimum of 6 chicks.

Thats okay because I wanted at least 6 anyway.

TSC didnt have any when I was there, but another feed store did, and there is a sign up thats says:

"You MUST live outside the city limits to buy baby chicks or ducks, please prepare to show your drivers license".

I didnt know Lubbock TX had an ordinance like that. Luckily I do live outside the city limits.

(And by the way, any Lubbockites who want to get chickens, IM me and we will go get them together!"

I bought some chicks today from the TSC in Burlington, NC. They didn't require anything other than payment from me. This is the first I have heard about giving name, address and phone number.

They did have some very nice chicks available today at this store. I bought 12 and they all seem very happy and healthy.

I remember that in NY there was a limit once upon a time because its Easter and people buy chicks, ducks, and bunnies for their kids. They usually get dumped after Easter though.

Wow, it's all so Orwellian isn't it?

You want my info. in order to sell me some peeps?

Sure, my name is Earl. Earl Hickey.

Maybe it'll create a whole new criminal element - people gathering in back alleys to buy fake driver's licenses to get chicks under a false name at the TSC.
