Q: Can these chicks go straight outside in a cage? Like with no light?
10 days ago1 Answer
- A: No. Chicks should have a brooding area at least 105-degrees for the first hour and lower the temperature to 95-degrees over the next few hours. You can lower the temperature by lifting the heat lamp. Chicks should be in a brooding area that has a surface temperature of 90- 95-degrees for the first week. Lower the temperature by five-degrees per week until you reach 70-degrees.10 days agoHelpful?

Q: Can I order meat birds middle of July?
a year ago1 Answer
- A: We hatch and ship chicks each week, Monday through Wednesday, typically. Availability refreshes daily on the TSC website and again on Thursday for the next hatch week. Demand is extremely high right now, and chicks are selling quickly on the website. Please keep checking back for the availability of your preferred chicks to purchase. Thanks for your question!a year agoHelpful?
Q: Are the chicks purchased in store vaccinated?
a year ago1 Answer
- A: No they are not, there are certain breeds offered on TSC website that you can purchase with vaccinations. Demand is extremely high right now, and chicks are selling quickly on the website. Please keep checking back for the availability if you are looking for vaccinated chicks. If you have never had Marek's disease on your property, typically you wouldn't need to vaccinate for this, other than for peace of mind. If your birds were to get Coccidiosis, this is treatable. You are able to feed medicated chick starter.a year agoHelpful?
Q: If all of these hens in the 10 count are non-egg laying, then how do I start to become self-sufficient with reproduction of these meat birds?
a year ago1 Answer
- A: Hi Shane, Cornish Cross are hybrid meat birds and aren’t intended for reproduction. If you’re looking to be self-sufficient, Cornish Cross aren’t the right breed. You’d need to switch to a slower-growing, dual-purpose or heritage breed if you want birds you can hatch and raise yourself.a year agoHelpful?

Terrible experience with Tractor Supply
18 days ago
Purchased 10 meat birds for the whopping price of 59.00. Delivered early to my home. One was deceased in the box and 7 more had crud coming out of there beaks. Those 7 died within the first 2 days. I reached out on the phone twice and did not get to speak to anyone. 1st time a callback that didn’t come and the second I was on hold for over an hour. I then reached out per message on their website and have not gotten any response. So I had 8 out of 10 chicks die within 24-48 hours with no response from the sender.
No, I do not recommend this product.
