Tractor Supply Chicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too am mostly glad that TSC requires a 6 chick purchase minimum...or I would have probably brought home more chicks than I did!
However, in the future, I can see how it would be aggravating, since we may only need a few to get a a time.

Next year, I plan on making a local thread in my area to advertise people who want to "co-op" or share the minimum to make a purchase. Might be a good idea?

My TSC chicks were the neediest, runtiest chicks I've ever come across. My store orders from Privett. I lost 2 of 8 and all have fought pasty butt for the 3 weeks I've had them. On the bright side, both if my bantam Cochin turned out to be frizzled

my chicks had pasty butt as well but didnt have too much problem with it after i read the pasty butt thread on here followed the advice and havent had a problem since.the cochins being frizzle is cool. i got 2 that were kinda grey they turned out to be what i think and have been told maybe D'Uucle but unfortunely i lost one of them this past week

I've also had problems with my Bantams from TSC afflicted with Pasty Butt. I had to cure it by following the advice here on BYC. I was able to get two D'Uculle and three Seabrights but unfortunately one of the Seabrights was returned to them after it prolapsed. I am reading that these type of problems are common with TSC although I have not had it with any of their regular sized chicks, only my Bantams.

3 of 12 of the chicks we got from TSC had pasty butt. 1 of them took about a week and a half to clear up, the other 2 were cleared up after 2 days.
