No problem I figured it was time I helped somebody out because everyone has been helping me

Thank you

Went to TSC today finally and saw the chicks and there were a LOT of reds (well only one bin actually labeled "rhode island red", one labeled bantams but empty and one jersey giant bin, the rest were labeled "pullets" supposedly assorted breeds but looked entirely reds to me) and anyway, all in large metal feed troughs, ALL heat lamp clamped to side. Babies crammed like sardines in there. Felt sorry for them. But of course MHP is too expensive and takes up too much room to be efficient for those babies, got 6 feed troughs in a gated area. Felt so bad though.

The TSC here can't keep chicks. They get them in the mail and within 1-2 days they are all gone so don't feel bad they won't be there long. One thing about this TSC, they won't sell them untill they've been IN the store for 2 hours just so the chicks can eat, drink and relax before they get sold.

Nice touch

That's true!! Not sure how long they've been there but the bantams were all out so idk. But the girl did seem to care. But that's awesome
