Announcing 📣📣📣!!! For those who are unaware of this next years (2025) new surcharge that our USPS will add to shipped chicks 🐥 don’t get caught by surprise. They are also increasing the priority mail express by 3.25% .
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is increasing shipping rates in 2025 to support its network investments and modernize its operations. The USPS is the only carrier that can safely deliver day-old chicks across the country, and the surcharge is a mandatory fee to ensure priority handling as AI put it. They have a 10 year improvement plan that they are having to come up with the money to help cover new infrastructure and to bring the technology up to date and with their competitors right at their door step they are seeing a decrease in consumers using the service and had lost 10billion dollars this last year. For me I am going to charge a flat rate and come up with the avg cost for shipping across the states with this new increase and surcharge plus supplies and keep it simple. They are making it harder not only on the breeder but the buyer as well and not much can be done except contacting your US Senators.

Thank goodness for Tarp Clips. 🥰These things are super handy. I have two styles. One you turn the little turn k**b the other slides until tight, In comparison I think they tie as far as use. 😁 I like them both! Prepared for the super cold windy weather! Of course who doesn’t have the handy duct tape and or painters tape ! 😆 The little dark spots on the white plastic is cardboard. We used an air stapler and the cardboard keeps the staple from going right through the plastic. The clear material is 12Mil tarp off Amazon .

This young boy has been picked up and going to be king over 7 girls of his own. He will love that! Thank you Mr. Felipe Rosa for giving this guy the attention he needs.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🤗🤗

If you’re interested in having this color added to your homestead we have a waiting list going right now and another one to start for spring chicks. Send me a pm for details!

This guy was on the Transport I did last Sunday and ready to go. Took him a week to adjust but he is back to normal activity and ready for a new flock. His prior address was Marshall Tx at my satellite farm . He was turned out to pasture during the day and free ranged with 7 roosters and several hens as well as pullets and these ranged in ages. He has never ever shown aggression and is a very sweet boy. He has the bright colors in his saddle and hackles and is 7 months old. Brahmas take a big growth spurt between 7-9 months old. It took him a week to adjust to confinement but he has adjusted well. Very much a gentleman.

AT WHAT POINT DO YOU STOP CALLING IT SHAVINGS?
Seriously these Tractor Supply Co. shavings are a hazard to your chickens . If you have chickens that have to jump down off the roost could you imagine if they jumped down and landed on one of these pieces of wood? I have recently bought feed ( for temporary arrangements) that 3 bags were big chunks of mold and the shavings have gone to crap and one set of birds could not breath normally the very next day after adding the shavings to the pen . I have gotten shavings with mites in them as well. I don’t know about yall but I spend loads of money with them and expect better quality. Who else has had issues with Tractor Supply items?
