Q&As

1 - 10 of 89 Questions

Q: Can these chicks go straight outside in a cage? Like with no light?

a month ago
1 Answer
  • Tony
    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.

Q: Can I order meat birds middle of July?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • Tony
    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!

Q: Are the chicks purchased in store vaccinated?

a year ago
1 Answer
  • Tony
    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.

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 ago
1 Answer
  • Tony
    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.

Worst Service

3 days ago
We hatch birds all the time, but they are not meat birds. We bought this ten pack and picked them up from the post office. They seemed fine but they next morning they were all dead under the heat lamp. They had food and water. Not the first birds we have raised. We called tractor Supplies customer service line 3 days in a row and never heard back from them. DO NOT BUY!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Satisfecha

Admito que de un principio pensé que había dos tamaños de pollitos, creí que había ordenado pollos medianos, y cuando llegaron eran bebés pollos, no estaba preparada para recibirlos tan pequeños, pero tenía lo suficiente para ponerlos a salvo, tardaron 2 días y medio en llegar después del envío, llegan muy estresados por lo cual requieren más cuidados especiales como darles electrolitos inmediatamente y mantenerlos calientes com lámparas, se murieron dos polllitos, pero los demás están bien, si hubiera estado mas preparada quizá todos estarían vivos , de igual modo estoy satisfecha
