All the same

I got 10 barred rock chicks. If I was to just buy that instead of the assortment it would be 20$ cheaper. Would not buy again.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi Patrick, we cannot guarantee the number of different breeds sent in any assortments as they are based on what is hatched and available for each ship date. We try our best to have 2-3 breeds available for these assortments at each hatch. There are quite a few breeds that look very similar as chicks, so sometimes it is hard to tell which you have until they are feathered out more. hoovers

didn’t receive one rare breed

2 months ago
I paid the extra for some rare chicks and received normal common chicks. I’ve reached out to support at TSC and every time I mentioned a complaint I get ignored. So I asked a random question and got a response but when I re directed back to the chicks complaint I get ignored again. The chicks I received are all healthy and thriving though. No complaints there just with being sent no RARE breeds and now being ignored by TSC support team.

Horrible experience

2 months ago
The baby chicks ship from Pennsylvania instead of Iowa as the hatchery website shows. They shipped on a Monday evening. Thursday morning weren't near my location. Friday morning got a call from post office of a box of birds. Picked up a box of 10 dead birds. Not sure if this is all USPS fault or partially the hatchery. Reordered. The are now showing shipped on a Monday again and are showing delivery of Friday. I dont know who to contact about this stupidity. Im sure I'll receive 10 more dead chickens this Friday as well. Someone needs to figure out this problem!
