So Im not one to commonly leave reviews for places but I felt a strong urge to do so for this one. I must say I was strongly disappointed with the overall result of my purchase. I purchased 10 chicks (as in chickens) from A & L feed. I myself not being a seasoned chicken raiser, did not think to ask where the chicks came from or what condition they had been in, assumed they were from a local farm and were hatched under ideal conditions. To my disappointment, I was far from that reality. Two of the chicks (who were adorable I must say) died within 2 hours of my bringing them home. A third died yesterday, 2 days after having them home. I learned they had a chicken disease, cocciodosis, which is thankfully treatable so now the remaining 7 are receiving treatment. I also learned that this was not the first time A & L feed has sold chicks who ALREADY contained the disease, which is due to extremely unsanitary conditions. They receive their chicks from large hatcheries who are then shipped to different areas. They sometimes stay in boxes for 2-3 days until arrival, which in that time can contract a multiplude of diseases, including cocciodosis and shipping fever. Anything that has shipping fever as a precaution should be an automatic NO! Any responsible feed store would at least treat the chicks upon arrival, and then tell the customers whats up. Of course, I take responsibility for my own naive assumptions, but seriously? A feed store should be a little more accountable than knowingly selling sick chicks and then not telling the customers how to prevent or treat common illnesses. Animal cruelty if you ask me.

This is a great company. They always have what I need and if they dont, the owners are willing to get it for me. Best customer service. Locally owned and locally supported. Great company! I personally stop and shoot it up with the owners regularly. Great people.
