We love our “Hawk Face” Americana chicks!
5 years ago
3 and a half months ago we ordered Americana pullets from TSC. They are the most unique looking hens we own. They have a beautiful Hawk-like face with a low profile comb that makes them look so regal! We have black, grey, burnt orange and a combination with all three colors. We cannot wait until they start laying in a couple months! Buy from TSC they are the best!

These are Easter Eggers- the correct spelling is Ameraucanas and these are a far cry.

I went to my TS store to get some chicks, they didn’t have the breed I was looking for and said they couldn’t order them. Told me I could order them online and they would ship them to me. I ordered them that day and they emailed me to confirm the order. The arrival date changed 3 times and when they came in 3 of the chicks were dead and 2 more were weak. I called the store and they said it was unusual but did happen once in a while, but they were guaranteed for 48 hours from delivery. The next day 2 more were dead and the second day 2 more were dead. I went by the store and talked to a young lady. I showed her pictures of my set up to see if I might be a part of the problem. She said everything looked fine and that sometimes chicks were sick to start with or shipping conditions were unfavorable. She was very helpful and recommended some medications that could help and told me how to get up with customer support. I called them and it took a while to get through but when it did they were very understanding and set up a replacement shipment and gave me an estimated delivery date. They came in on time and they sent the full order of 10 instead of 7. I lost 1of those but the rest ere doing and eating me out house and home. Long story, aggravating experience but TS came through and I’ve got healthy chicks. Bryant

Not what is advertised
5 months ago
Bought in store. Labeled as “Americuana.” We’re new to the chicken thing. Upon more research, into both the true breed and Hoover’s Hatchery, these are not the chickens we thought. They get 3 stars because they are still alive and we just love chickens. I’m highly disappointed in the mislabeling of tractor supply and Hoovers hatchery. These birds do not meet the breed standards. They are Easter Eggers and should be labeled as such. High egg producers but colored eggs are questionable. Not very heat tolerant from my readings. Very friendly and docile creatures. We love ours. Way more calmer than other breeds we have had.
No, I do not recommend this product.

February still cold weather for mailing of chicks
7 months ago
Ordered by mail in middle of February- was cold . From 60 chicks, 10 came died. In comparison in summer time by mail - came all alive… company can use heather pads for chicks at least, because it’s impossible come alive after 2 days in cold weather, without food and water… if you will decide order by mail, make sure track chicks, usually they came on second day, prepare place for them with light, water and food, and take them immediately from post … in my experience from last years, by mail gender send right 90_99%, but in store chicks was all rooster install female… so, anyway, by post mail - more chances that will come more females like order .

6/10 have died off in 5, last 4 not doing well
9 months ago
All were barely alive in the box, one already dying. Despite warming, manual watering/feeding (never forcefully), 6 were lost in 96 hours. We managed to get 4 to perk up about 2 days in, but they are now also struggling with pasty butts, getting weaker. Yes its cold and shipping isn't entirely on TS, but these chicks were doomed from the start and showed signs of severe dehydration and organ failure upon arrival.

10 hens delivered just as promised
a year ago
Chicks arrived when they said they would. All alive and Post Office called me at 6:30 am to tell me they were there, and I could come to the loading dock around back if I wanted to pick them up before they opened at 9 am. All appear to be hens 3 weeks later and only one had died after about a week. Just failed to thrive. Pleased with how it turned out. Great addition to my flock. Can't wait for first blue eggs.

Prompt shipping and delivery
a year ago
I received the chicks delivered to my doorstep within 24 hours of the shipment. I received 11 chicks instead of the expected 10. Out of the 11 chicks, only 4 were female, which is less than the 5 I had anticipated. Despite receiving the shipment notification directly from the USPS, Tractor Supply never sent me any shipment notification. Their website remained unchanged even after I received the order, indicating that my order status was still in process. It wasn’t until an hour after the mailman delivered the chicks that I received a notification of delivery.

Healthiest baby chicks I’ve bought from store
a year ago
By far the healthiest baby chicks🐣I’ve ever received from a store. I’ve raised my own, but it was years ago when I did. I am having to start over and I ordered online; super easy process! The chicks🐣were very alert, active and healthy. I ordered 10 and I have not lost one! I like knowing their age and that other than the farm, we are the only hands that have touched them. The coolest feature is you can order all same sex so no worry of a rooster 🐓 in the henhouse 🏠

Disappointed this time

Was very disappointed this time with my order. This is my fifth time to order chicks from the Hatchery through TSC. I normally lose at least one chick, but this time I lost 7 of the 10 within 2 days of receiving. I lost 4 the first day and 3 more on the 2nd day. The remaining three are thriving and doing very well. That is a lot of money to spend for 3 healthy chicks.

This is the 3rd time that I've ordered from them. This was the first time all of the chicks arrived dead. prior orders were fine. working with tractor supply customer service to coordinate either replacement or refund. Unsure if they sat on a post office loading dock in the cold too long or what, as tracking showed over 24hrs from the time received at originating Post office until being accepted
