Every year in mid to late February , Tractor Supply hosts their “Chick Days”, where they receive shipments of chicks from hatcheries to their retail stores. What time of year do you get baby chicks? Spring is the best time to get chicks, typically April.
Chicks at Tractor Supply range from $1.99 for an assorted variety to $4.29 for a small breed just-hatched chick and go up from there, depending on the breed and grade. Not only that, but you have to pay extra for feed and supplies, without these necessities, your chicks will not make it very long after they arrive in your mailbox.
Does Tractor Supply sell baby chicks?
Tractor Supply gets chicks in on a regular basis, you’d have to chat with an employee to figure out the schedule at your store. Sometimes they sell out, other times they have chicks from an earlier shipment hanging around when the new ones come in. The week old chicks are usually marked down to get them out of the way for the cute little babies.

How often do you go to Tractor Supply for Chick days?
I hit up Tractor Supply about once a month or so and during Chick Days it’s impossible not to check out the new babies. I’m usually pretty good about not getting impulse chickens but if my kids are with me all bets are off.

Where can I buy chickens?
Tractor Supply Company is a great place to get started with chickens. You can get your chicks, your chick starter, and all your supplies in one place. Here is a semi-quick introduction to the chicken you can get from TSC .
The favorite answer was the varieties TSC carries seem to change every year but anything titled ‘sex-link’ or ‘Star’, Comets, ISA Browns is a hybrid layers. The stores are usually pretty good at getting the birds in the right bins but it’s not unheard of for some chicks to end up in the wrong tubs. Sometimes they’ll even have two varieties in the same tub.
