Tractor Supply - how does it work?? (rant)

[Jstpssng]

Tractor Supply is getting heat for the birds they are selling. This popped up on YouTube today. This is a popular channel for homesteaders and he laid it all out for everyone to see after getting the run around from TSC.

I've never even considered buying birds from them or anybody else who gets them in without pre-ordering. It costs me a bit more but I like my birds to live. I also stopped having birds sent to my house because too often they have gotten here dead. (That's another story altogether; some are trying to stop them from using the mail service to ship chicks.) I was in TSC last night though, thinking pretty much what the guy in the link was saying; the birds looked unhealthy and lethargic. I'm just an amateur, but have raised enough poultry from chicks in the last 10 years to know what they should look like; and also when they aren't very healthy.

ordered a non stocked chainsaw bar from home depot online. shipped and received in two days. downfall was paying shipping and not getting a military discount. upside was getting it....

We were in the 2nd closest TSC to us today and the wife wanted to look at the chicks and the ones here actually looked pretty healthy and comfortable. They only had chicks on 3 levels if IIRC and they weren't over crowded.
