i got 6 out of that bin and I believe most of them are EEs. and I already bought EEs yesterday lol has anyone else gotten chicks from there? and are there any of clean footed, no crest, bearded breeds that they could be?
Has anyone one else who purchased barred rock chicks from TSC experiencing hyper aggression… like repeatedly biting my hand so hard it hurts when I try to lower the feed into their brooder? I have tried the finger snap back and it stops them for about a day. I thought this breed was supposed to...
Does anyone have advice on picking/raising chicks from TSC? I am going tomorrow morning in hopes of buying my first-ever chicks. I have a lot of the supplies already (heating plate, chick food, chick grit, a large plastic container, to name a few), but know I probably need other things, too. I...
Does anybody know about availability for chicks in the next few weeks in King/Snohomish County, Washington? I'm hoping to add to my flock and help some friends find chicks but it's been difficult this week. I'm assuming the bird flu is having quite the impact and now everyone wants some. After...
I was checking out breeds Hoover's Hatchery has because I know they are one of the main hatcheries that supply for TSC, which is where I might be getting chicks. They have a message on their website that says they can no longer accept new orders for 2025 and every breed is marked as unavailable...
I got 5 maran chicks from TSC but only 3 survived, and two of them have white/gray legs and one has yellow legs. I'm wondering if that's a normal thing or something else.
Maran #1
Maran #2

I was minding my beeswax in TSC getting some more feed for my lards and a new feeder. Disgruntled lady then launched me nearly into the stratosphere with her cart and grumbled an “excuse me” whilst doing so. Proceeded to pick up a bag of mealworms and run me over again to get out. This is not...
I impulse bought these three chicks a little over a week ago at Tractor Supply. They were labeled assorted Bantams. Im still pretty new to chickens but I’ve tried to do some research and I have a guess that the brown one is a partridge Cochin but I’m not sure. Both of the darker ones have...
What color are these? They’re supposedly 2 week old silkies and I thought they’d be white and buff but I’m new to chickens and their feathers are coming in different than I expected I guess 🤷🏼♀️ tsc bantam straight runs with feathered feet and extra toes. I think the black on the first one is...
I have 3 French (American) bresse hens that I bought as juveniles and enjoyed having so this year I jumped into chicks from tsc. Tsc makes you buy at least 4 so I got 1 cream legbar pullet (to be sure I got at least one female) and 3 feather footed bantams hoping for a silkie. My chicks are a...
Meet Kim Possible! She is our spiciest gal and is quite active. I don't have the best photos because she is always on the move, but hoping you can help with some guesses on the breed. A few details:
Purchased from TSC
Approximately 7 weeks old in the pictures
I had ordered the assorted coloured...
Hello I got this chicks around 3 months ago, and got 4 at TSC and 3 from CALS Ranch.
I’ve been wondering what breeds these are?
And possibly gender as well.
1:
Is labeled as a bantam
Has 5 toes one each foot
I thought they were a silkie
2:
Thought they were an Easter Egger
From CALS Ranch...
We just picked up a duckling labeled as “Blue Swedish” at TSC but it has eye stripes? The down is def blue and it has blue-slate bill and feet. Can Blue Swedish ducklings have eye stripes?
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...
My questions is: does the Producer’s Pride Sentinel XL coop come pre-treated/varnished, or do you have to paint it with your own coat of paint? Thanks if anybody responds, need to find out and don’t want to waste time on extra work if not needed (I also like the color of the coop already.) I’ve...
Took the kids to TSC and picked out some chicks. The two orange ones with white wings are supposed to be Golden Comets. I let the kids pick out the other 4 from the assorted bin. I was told they were all supposed to be pullets. I don't know a lot about all the different breeds, but from what...
I’m fully aware I gambled. Bin said “Fancy and Fun Pullets” but it was a fun surprise guessing game 😂 they’re roughly 9-11 weeks old now. Any guesses on breed and genders? I marked green and red to differentiate. They both seem to have rounded hackles but I know it’s to early to really tell.
So I bought a bunch of chickens from TSC and I began researching the breeds only to find that pictures online look nothing like what I bought. Can anyone help me identify these breeds?
Comb Type: Pea
Color: Black and white (Feathers coming in black)
Leg Color: Black with pink feet...
Hi all! First time chicken owner here. I have 10 chicks that are 5 weeks old as of this past Thursday, and I'm hoping someone here can help me identify their gender as well as the breed of two of my mystery chickens and a couple of Bantams. They were all bought as day old chicks at Tractor...
Purchased 3 ducklings from TSC two weeks ago (they are 3-4 weeks old now) and after searching this forum on multiple occasions, decided to sign up. Hello to all!
To avoid the many (what species is my duckling from the TSC “mix bin”?) repeats, I though I’d just introduce my three little buddies...
