TSC Chicks and more

[cmom]

I asked a sales fellow at TSC what hatchery the chicks were from. He told me somewhere in New Mexico. He had a brochure of the chicks that TSC either have or can order.

Here is a great site for chick identification.

Our local TSC's won't have any chicks until April 4th!

The wait is killing me!!

They're supposed to have ducks this year, too!

We have one that looks like a chipmunk too Dd14 has already claimed it and she named it what else... chipmunk!

The chipmunk color scheme could be EE's or Partridge Chanteclers, or something else too.

The chicks at TSC are from Privett in New Mexico

we went to TSC yesterday and they had the new shipment of fuzzy butts in, all the tanks were full. I looked and even picked up a few pullets (to look at only) and talked to a mom that was planning to get some but really didn't know what to get. Anyways, we got home and hubby said, "I'm surprised you didn't want to get 6 pullets." I said, "I thought you wouldn't want us to get anymore?" he replies, "still I figured we would leave with some."

HI, my name is Beth and I am addicted to little fuzzy butts!!!!

Temptation, thy name is Tractor Supply! (or bunny, I suppose.)

I heard from a friend at work that chicks were in. I need some more pullets, so I figured I'd go look. And needed more shavings and food anyway.

There were a ton of ducks, a tub of mixed bantams (although some looked awfully big), and two tubs of straight run something. He thought one tub might be barred rocks, but wasn't sure; the other tub had 4 yellow chicks and the rest all looked about the same.

The staff, who are usually pretty knowledgeable had no idea. So I picked out 2 yellow chicks (pleeeease be buff orpingtons!), 3 black and yellow with yellow spots on their heads (pleeeeease be pullets, black stars would be nice...) and 3 black/gray (please be barred rocks! )

I tried to grab ones with the smallest combs, hoping for pullets, but I could tell that they were picked over. We shall see. I was hoping they'd have some Cornish X, but no such luck.

I added them to the brooder with some 2.5 week old black cochins, and moved the 3 phoenix chicks who are about 5 weeks old into a separate brooder since they are pretty close to fully feathered and needed a better place to perch... and are huge compared to the babies.

Do I need help, or something? Or should I just deny that I have a problem?
