Only lost one out of the whole batch, to be expected. Shipped quickly, beautiful looking chicks. Thank you so much for the quick shipping, great buy.

I picked up the chicks 30 minutrs after they were delivered to usps office. As soon as i got the box, i opened to find 3 dead chicks. The other 7 are growing up beautifully. Im just not sure of the pure breed yet si ce they are so small.

Chicks were very weak upon arrival. Three of the 10 didn't make it through the first 24 hours... The remaining 7 are now thriving.

I wanted to share my honest experience with Tractor Supply Company and their chick supplier, Hoover's Hatchery. For context, I purchased Black Copper Marans (BCM) with the intention of raising birds closer to SOP (Standard of Perfection) quality. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of my more disappointing decisions. To be fair, for common backyard poultry or general-purpose birds, Tractor Supply and Hoover’s Hatchery may still be a convenient and reliable source. Their availability, accessibility, and basic stock seem well-suited for beginners or those not focused on breed standards. However, when it comes to more specialized or heritage breeds—especially if your goal is to work toward SOP quality—the results can fall short. The BCM I received lacked the consistency, traits, and overall quality typically expected from birds bred with standard conformation in mind. This makes it difficult for anyone serious about breeding, showing, or improving bloodlines. In hindsight, I would strongly recommend sourcing higher-end or SOP-focused breeds directly from reputable, specialized breeders rather than large-scale hatcheries. While hatcheries serve a purpose, they may not meet the expectations of those aiming for true breed standards. Overall, this experience was a learning lesson. Tractor Supply and Hoover’s Hatchery are fine for general poultry needs, but for those striving for quality and precision in specific breeds, it’s worth investing the extra time and effort into more dedicated breeding programs.

All growing fast and arrived alive and healthy

Ordered 10 Black Copper Maran baby chicks. USPS kept them for 24hrs in an unheated warehouse - 7 arrived dead, 3 more super weak. I sent a contact email saying 7 were dead. I was up all night feeding yolk in a syringe but the other 3 died too. I called and they said they'd send 10 more, but once I saw the shipping box that was totally uninsulated I called back and canceled the order. A week later I got a refund from the initial email for only 7 of them. I found another hatchery a few hours away and drove there and got 20 healthy chicks for less than half the price online. I've bought live chicks with 100% success before from TSC but this time a badly packaged hatchery and USPS negligence killed the little babies.

Chicks arrived safe and sound. Easy to order and fast delivery.

Purchased 10 chicks. Within 48 hours, 4 of them died due to an unknown cause. I requested a refund and still have not received and $$$. It has been 10 days since I requested a refund.

Ordered some French copper marans when they arrived at the post office I was there within a few minutes one was already dead package had little insulation and within 24 hours all of them were dead went in tractor supply to ask what I could do they said I had to contact the hatchery so I tried contacting the hatchery but never got a response

The Black Copper Maran chicks arrived very healthy. I have not lost any. The only issue was that I was to receive notification when they were to ship. There was no notification sent prior to the chicks arriving. I ordered them on a Friday evening and on the following Wednesday I received a call at work from my postal delivery guy saying he had my chicks. I did receive a text notification a few hours after I had picked them up that they had been shipped.

Very healthy chickens. If it could offer an option for vaccine with a small fee, then it will be perfect.

Love it. Got 2 unknown breed, out of theses 10. Still great.

DEAD ALL DEAD 3 times

Good breeding of chickens, this is my first time buying baby chicks online and it won't bey last. Unfortunately a few chicks died, but I think it was my fault for not familiarizing my self with how to take care of them, the web was my best friend on that. Out of the 20 I got 16 are happy and healthy.

Give 3 some of chicken were weak and 4 of them die

5 passed the following day after receiving them. Also 4 are black and white and one is black and yellow. I hope they’re not a mixed breed but only time will tell.

Received order very quickly, Iowa to Texas in 2 days. All of the chicks made it alive and well.

Bought assorted marans. 2 weeks in and I have only 3 left. Not sure what happened, but hopefully there are no roosters!

Didn't bother returning

Chicks came quickly & healthy. Ordering online was easier than I expected.

Birds are doing great,just mostly Roosters

Great price fast shipping healthily chicks

Chicks came healthy, lively, are growing like weeds, and there were no losses during shipping.

There are white tips on the roosters wings. This is a huge fault.

All chicks arrived alive and healthy. Very satisfied. Nice looking birds.

All the baby chicks arrived alive and well, they even showed up a day earlier than originally expected. Will buy more again in the future.

Excellent harchery! Healthy chicks, fast delivery. Have ordered from Hoover's several times and have received cute healthy chicks every time. Usually within 5 days. I will order from them again & again!!!

Awesome birds!! Would recommend this site to others.

I've Had 4 orders of day old chicks from Hoovers via Tractor Supply and all have been 100% survival rate and first class quality chicks and service.

They arrived alive and well wrapped. They are still alive.
