I stopped at the TSC in Massena NY today and they let me know that the northeast stores are scheduled to have their chicks shipped from Mt Healthy on 4/8/09. Not all of the stores are getting all of the chicks (like I want a Banty so I am getting mine in VT. as my Massena store is not getting banties only mixed pullets and straight run RIR's) also, they all seem to have a 6 chick minimum. He tried to tell me it was a "NY state mandate" I laughted at him and said "yah uh-huh look at your charts..." and he was like "oh I guess it is all TSC's... funny how TSC keeps telling their employees it's a state mandate.. anywho... your local TSC in the NE can let you know which chicks they will carry ahead of time
I think here there really is a state law that requires 6 chicks. I wonder if the Ohio stores are getting theirs in too? Anyone have any idea what kind the mixed pullets are?
He called up the computer for me and all it said was "mixed pullets" I'm hoping for Orps and Wyan's as you guys have all posted such beautiful pics of your babies! I don't have any of those breeds yet.
Hi, I'm in NY also and I just purchased chicks from Agway (a feed store) and they also had the 6 chick minimum. I don't know anything about it being a state law but I just thought I'd mention it. Genie
