Exactly. My son works at Big R, and they are the same way as TSC... he knows more about chickens than the rest of the employees combined.To TSC they are chickens that produce money.Most of the employees and staff are completely ignorant about basic chicken facts and their breeds,they just sell mixed up bunches of straight run breeds to make a profit.I don’t like to support them for that reason.
He told me they actually put something in the chick's feed to constipate them so they don't soil the shavings in their tank!! No wonder those poor chicks are so sickly, they are basically given pasty butt on purpose!
Apparently they also had a shipment of chicks delayed, and by the time they got to the store all but a few were dead. I just can't even, those poor babies.
I absolutely will not buy chicks from the big box ranch supply stores.
