TSC IS LYNCHING CHICKENS!

[chrissynemetz]

In all my years with chickens, I think I've probably tried most of those old wives tales. My opinion is that they're 100% nonsense. And after reading the hundreds of posts from people who have had TSC goof up on their chicks.... well, I'm sure there are exceptions, but I think it's definitely buyer beware if you get chicks from them.

I predict an outcome of mostly boys with neck issues.

Flipping a coin would be just as accurate and less cruel to the chicks.

Wow. How come we haven't heard of this very scientific sexing method before?

Because it's an Old Wives Tale. If you weren't born an Old Wife, you wouldn't know it!
Someone needs to tell that brilliant store employee that it doesn't matter what gender the chick is ... it'll still die if he dislocates its' neck!

@sealer39 - those chicks were not lynched. They were briefly dangled and lived to tell the tale. Lynch means to put to death by mob action. I’m guessing there was not a mob of TSC employees or customers that wanted the chicks to die.

Yeeaah, I’m aware of the definition of lynch. Thanks for clearing that up for everybody though.

Lol, but knowing TSCs employees reputations they'd probably end up hitting the chick in the head with the coin.

So why use such an extreme term?? It is a term that refers to something horrible yet you chose to use it to describe something very different. So, actually I don’t think you know what it means, so I was just helping you out.

You’re welcome.

I have never heard of a more ridiculous way of sexing anything. Sure had a good laugh though. Goes with making a face when the wind changes and it will stay like that, or crusts on bread make your hair curl...load of nonsense. People don't think much these days though, I'd like to sell them all a bridge.

I was in Atwood's over the weekend. I ran in to grab a few things I needed while I was next to the store instead of driving home and then to my regular feed store. I could hear the distressed peeping several aisles over and when I got into the poultry section quickly went from concerned to incensed as I watched a woman (not an employee) dangling chicks upside down by their legs for a rapt audience of employees and other customers as she demonstrated how to accurately sex them. The males apparently curl up and the females just dangle there. I just grabbed what I needed and left before I was asked not to shop there anymore.
