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...

I got these bantam chicks at TSC a couple days ago. No one working there had any idea what they were. Can anyone help me out? I'm pretty sure 2 of them are silkies or cochins because they have feathered feet... Other than that I'm pretty much at a total loss. I'll get some better pictures of...

Hi everyone! So I just brought home 6 chicks from TSC and at first they were doing great! Eating, drinking, etc. we found one to have pasty butt, and we quickly cleared all of the discharge, but now she’s still acting off. When we disturb the brooder, she stays still. She acts lethargic, won’t...

Hi all! I want to start off by saying this is my first time raising chicks in over 10 years, and I’m pretty rusty. The chicks seem to be doing pretty good, sleeping a lot, fluffing bedding, and chirping. No water drinking yet, but they have investigated it and been shown. There’s six bantam...

Any guesses on my two Silkies, Barred Rock and I assume a Cochin or Brahma bantys? The white silkie doesn't have a comb showing yet but has some hair-do going on. The black or blue? (not sure the difference) one has more of a comb showing from what I can tell. I know Silkies are hard to sex and...

In the Q&A portion of this 330' roll of wire on the TSC website, the manufacturer provides links to this image when asked about the size of their wire. The width of the openings is 6" I deduced that these dimensions were small enough to contain my hens. After hauling the 120 pound rolll of...

OK! Seriously now! I have completely lost faith in TSC for chicks. Now, I LOVE Tractor Supply. But no longer for chicks. I know some people swear by them and others don't trust them at all. I am beginning to think that the company needs to stop using different hatcheries at each of their stores...

So, I just started working at tsc, well, I’ve never seen this in any of my feed bags or anything but I saw a whole bunch of little things crawling on some bags at the tsc I work at, i told my manager and she said they’re just grain mites. Gross! She said they would come home with someone if...

NOTE: This is also a Article. @MROO said I should also make it a thread, so I did: So, it all started two years ago when I wanted a pet. Something easy to care for and very friendly and nice. I new a dog was not a good idea, nor a cat. I thought about hamsters and mice but I did not really want...
