Why not to buy chicks from TSC...

[Slingha]

I bought once and I will never buy from again.

I bought 36 cornish cross from 2 different TSC's.

3 died(i'm ok with that that part),
3 are either Light Sussex or Tetra Tint(They are going into a now crowded coop)
8 are "who knows" but not meat birds(Im guessing Leghorns).

That leaves me with as it stands right now 22 meat birds. I only got 61% of what I paid for.
I would bring back the 8 "who knows" but i'm sure they will be much better off in my care than at TSC. So for now I get to keep feeding the 8 non-meaties 40 dollar a bag organic feed so to get them to a good home asap.

Thank you Tractor Supply......

I have 2 TSCs I frequent here. Both seem to have their system down.
Bin for ducks. Bin for bantams. Bin for breed of the week. Bin for red pullets. Bin for pullets. Bin for cornish cross if they have them.

If they mix bins, they do so in a bin they can absolutely tell the difference and add an extra sign to the bin.
2 week old white leg horns were in with the 4 remaining ducklings - they were all snuggled together.
Any time I've been in, the chicks seem to be in the correct bin. Customers are left outside the coral and only employees go in to box up the birds.


Sorry yours were all mixed up.

Might be worth it to order online next time when you order in such a large number

Can't disagree with you. I was lulled by the siren song of 1.99 chicks.

I gotchya, that must be so frustrating. Call HQ maybe, they could give you a credit or something?
