hoover's hatchery

What is this chicken? 5 week old chick. My husband bought 12 chicks a few weeks ago. 4 olive eggers, 4 barred rocks, 4 “lavender Orpingtons”. When he got home with 8 black chicks I told him none of them were lavender orps unfortunately lol So we just didn’t know what they were, but looked very...

We got them at Rural King who I think gets their chick's from Hoovers. The first 2 pictures are the chick's in question. The last pic is the 2 unknown with 4 sapphire gems.

Hey yall! We ordered a batch of 20 sexed chicks from Hoover Hatchery's rare breed assortment a few weeks ago as a fun little winter project since we had some extra brooder space, and there are 3 that we can't seem to ID for the life of us, as they don't appear to match any of the possible...

Up first is my Roo. Single pea comb. Any way to tell what he is? Hoping to breed to other hens as a fun way to get blue/green/olive eggs. Next up is a hen. I think she was the same bin as the rooster. Lastly another hen. Again, from the same bin as the two above… Thanks for any ideas...

I have been raising chicks for over 13 years. For the 1st time this year I purchased some chicks from tractor supply online which goes through Hoover's Hatchery. I have never used them before but they seem to have decent prices and thought I would give it a go. Received the birds within 48...

A few months ago I got 6 Silkie chicks from Rural King (Hoover Hatchery). Today I noticed 2 of the 6 do not have walnut combs but I believe straight combs. I understand they are NOT show quality but are they also not a pure Silkie? Could they be rightfully bred as pet quality or should the 2...

Hi Everyone. We previous searched for others experiences ordering Cornish Cross from Tractor Supply but there did not seem to be much. So we figured we will share our on going experience. We ordered the chicks on Friday 10/8/21. Straight forward online order. Didn't get any updated til...

Got these guys from TSC yesterday. Supposedly they are Prairie Bluebell Eggers but no one at the store could identify the different chicks, and they were all mixed in stock tanks. Off the top of my head the breeds they did have in store were BO's, Barred Rocks, Cornish meat birds, the Prairie...

Hey everyone! Got my shipment of chicks in. I did have 2 pass away before they got to the store but I also got a mystery chick inside. I’m assuming it’s an Easter Egger chick. What do you’ll think. (Excuse the nails) Thanks!!!

In April, my husband went to buy chicks in Tractor Supply. They had Ameraucanas, Rhode Island Reds, CC Broilers, assorted Bantums, Bovan Browns, and assorted pullets. Hoover's Hatchery doesn't seem to sell Ameraucanas, so I assumed they were Americanas/Easter Eggers. He asked for 10 Ameraucanas...
