If you look at that form, the delivery address is your address, not Tractor Supply. And the minimum is 25 birds. I don’t know what TSC charges if you order through them, but I’d just order direct from the hatchery unless ordering through TSC gives you a reduced volume discount somehow.
In the past some feed stores would let you order a small number of chicks that would be delivered to the store so you could beat the hatchery minimum order requirement. My local TSC never would do that when I asked about it, you could order through them but it was exactly like the above, 25 birds delivered to your post office. I generally don’t use the other feed stores, none are all that convenient. It doesn’t hurt to ask but I don’t know that it does any good to argue if they say they don’t do it.
I’d never heard of Hoover in Iowa, but Privett in New Mexico and Townline in Michigan are at least familiar. They’ve all three been around a long time which to me means they know what they are doing. I don’t know if I’ll remember it but that’s interesting information. Since mine used Privett last year, they probably will again. And I’ll probably ask again.
Thanks for sharing. It’s good to get information from someone with inside information.
