Tractor Supply and local feed stores are still selling live poultry.I asked a person at T/S why they could still do it and she said it did not affect business only person to person sales.

I don't understand why Tractor Supply can still sell. An auction is a business and a livelihood for many people, but they cant sell.

Maybe T/S confirms the chicks come from suppliers that are sickness free....IDK,just a thought.

Yes you can still purchase chicks from the big producers that ship Postal service. These are coming from areas with no cases. If they were to ever get a case then they would no longer be able to ship.
