Tractor Supply Brooders

[MamaBelle5]

I was in 2 different TSCs this weekend, both went back to the original brooders. What are you all seeing in yours?

Unfortunately most switched back because too many people were whining

TSC here switched back to the tubs, no more tiered brooders.

Mine only sells chicks until a week or so after Easter, so their tower was empty, although still on the floor. Sometimes they sell fall chicks, so we will see what they do at that time.

The Buckeye, AZ Tractor Supply is now back to the tubs and are no longer using the stack brooder. All chicks in the tub today looked healthy with no pasty butt. The chicks were running around on nice clean shavings!!

Mine went back to the tubs a couple of weeks ago.

My TSC also reverted to the galvanized tubs. My store had good success with the new brooders and are sorry to see them go, but all the employees at my store also have chickens, so they had some experience and made adjustments when necessary. This store lost very few chicks and most of the ones they lost were directly caused by shipping issues. It was customer complaints that caused them to reinstall the galvanized tubs.

My feed store removed chick days altogether. They had never done them before the new brooders, and once the tower brooders were removed they pulled the chick days

That's what unfortunately made mine return to the old ones too. Here, you don't get hired if you don't know at least something about the different animals we supply for
