Tractor supply pullets

What breed of chickens are the Tractor Supply Pullets. How old are they the day they get them? I bought 6 and dont know what they are.

Is it bad that I cannot stop laughing that a TSC worker said this? Don't they only hire red neck teenagers that at least know what end the egg comes out of?
I you were much more gracious than I would have been.

There's no telling with TSC. This year mine has only had white leghorns and production reds. They got in one shipment of Welsummers that were sold as straight run, but I grabbed a pretty little pullet by looking at markings.

But last year I got 8 assorted pullets from TSC as my starter flock. 4 "assorted red pullets" and 4 "assorted pullets." I ended up with 3 production reds, a golden comet, two California whites, a cuckoo maran, and a lakenvelder.

Each store gets different merchandise from different hatcheries. Post some pics of your babies and maybe we can help?

I had a market customer insist I candle the eggs I sold her to make sure there were no chicks inside since "the rooster put the eggs inside the hen." After a long explanation, I finally told her she was eating the hen's period, and that was why I could get eggs without a roo.

The chicks are usually 3 days old when they arrive. Also your photo didn't post.

It depends in the store location too. My TSC had leghorns last year. Last week it looked like they had a mix of Production Reds and Barred Rocks.
