Not every feed store is like that though. Although, I have some issues with my local feed store (like the fact they want 10 cents a cricket.... come on!
) They are really great on asking people if they need, food, water, feeder, bedding, a light and explaining exactly what these chicks need. A. It is good for business that people buy more things, but B. they want people to have a good experience so they buy more chicks. It is just smarter that way and the chicks might acutally survive. This is how my feed store gets returning customers. And they do well....800 chicks in a weeks!
