What breed is this?

[ILoveBabySilkies]

All three are Cochins. The first white one being a pullet. The other two are cockerels

First rule of TSC: Do not ever trust anything they say about chicken breeds.

And you can take that to the bank!

Lol! Me too! I feel so angry when they sell turkey poults as Buff Orps.

That’s literally a crime.

That’s literally a crime.

Yes! But they honestly don’t know, and my guilty secret is ...
I hate them for it!
which is unfair, but it’s really ignorant to get a job selling chicks and not know a thing about them, or the difference between chickens and turkeys!

 

[Yep I Talk To Chickens]

I know! TSC is not qualified to have any living animals in their care. I feel like I should work in the chicken section there so people don't get scammed

U feel like I should some how warn people but a review is just not enough. And I don't know if a call telling them how to care for them properly would get me in trouble.

It's probably best for people to carefully research the breeds they want before buying them from TSC.
Although I wouldn't buy from that sort of place.

Yeah, I get it. There's not really a good way other then what OneHappyRooster said. Research your birds before you buy. And, I know buying from TSC is convenient for most since its local and all, but finding birds or chicks from local breeders is much better. Even ordering chicks or hatching eggs! Everytime I go to TSC I'm still tempted by the adorable fluffy faces, but I have to have restraint. Lol.
On another note, at a TSC an hour away they were selling white layers as khaki campbells.
I mean, HOW do you mess that up?!?!

I totally agree. They should at least give people a crash course on poultry or something. And I hate when people go there looking for a certain kind of feed or medication, and the employees convince them not to get one kind, and get the wrong thing!
