It was mentioned on another platform. The poster said she got a text message from a TSC employee saying all the chicks in NC stores were culled overnight.I don't see any reference about TSC culling chicks in that link ...is there another link to look at? Just did a quick google news search about it, couldn't find anything that way either , yet.
I thought it sounded bogus but now believe it is true after I saw the article on the ban of public sales. If TSC had chicks in stock and could no longer sell them they most likely DID cull them. Heck their lawyers might have even said "destroy the inventory" instead of giving them away in case it leads to infections/lawsuits.
This old thread claims they discount them or donate the ones that get to old to sell but the risk of avian influenza and the new law makes that riskier for a huge corporation with "deep pockets". Who knows it, may have also varied by store.
