Amid the pandemic, more Americans are adding something new to their backyards: chickens.
If you re one of those millennials who moved to a rural or suburban area during the pandemic, it s practically a requirement that you pick up gardening tools at the very least, or maybe even some animal feed or a chicken coop.
One of the beneficiaries of that â besides, of course, the chickens â is Tractor Supply Co., a chain popular in those areas, which says it s seen significant sales growth over the past year.
Based in Brentwood, Tennessee, Tractor Supply has nearly 2,000 small-format stores in 49 states. The retailer does not actually sell tractors, but it s an emporium of pet food and animal feed, lawn and garden tools, home goods, fencing, truck beds, chicken coops and recreational clothing.
