Tractor Supply Brooders

[sdm111]

Whenever you're there again buying all that it sells you can see how they're doing and come back and bash them

What was wrong with them?

I personally feel neutral about them. They’re not my favorite, but I don’t but my chicks from there anyway.

I'm also neutral, but I don't have enough information or evidence. The chicks sell out pretty fast. Our local TSC gets new batches on Friday, we (me and @PollyGirl21 ) went to visit there today, I don't know if they had just restocked or not but there were still a lot of chicks available. They all seemed healthy except for the leghorns. One brooder was all leghorns, that one was doing the worst, and one was leghorns + one other breed, RIR I think, and that one was doing second worst. We told one of the employees that one of the leghorns looked dead so he took it out. It looked as though it had been crushed as all the chicks were huddled under the plate. So it might just be that breed didn't do so well.
One of the last times we went (also on rstocking day), the manager also said that the bantams didn't do well in the new brooders unless they had been given a few days to settle in the boxes. The bantam chicks we saw this time looked older than the other breeds, so I believe they were the ones that came in from last week. They seemed fine to me, and their heat was lowered. Like I said it was just the leghorns that were struggling.

Again, I'm fairly unbiased as I have never bought chicks from either Hoover's or TSC, although we're probably doing TSC this year as we don't want to do shipped chicks again.
