Hawthorne Country Store announced Wednesday it will host its annual spring Chick Day on Saturday, March 8 in its Escondido, Fallbrook and Santee locations.
The complimentary annual celebration, which will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. , will host more than 100 varieties of baby poultry; the event is a great way to learn about raising a home flock of backyard chickens. Hundreds of families typically attend each year.
“More and more families are finding that chickens are pets that come with great benefits, such as producing protein, creating fertilizer, and recycling waste,” says Heather Thelen, owner of Hawthorne Country Store. “We are excited to once again bring this popular event to our communities [Escondido, Fallbrook and Santee] and share all our chicken knowledge.”
There will also be a Peep Show from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 7 at all three locations. The $55 charge covers two adults, 21 and over. There will be hors d’oeuvres and beverages. This will give customers the first pick of rare, exotic, and the best egg-laying breeds. There will be more variety of chicks than ever before. To purchase Peep Show tickets and access more information, email Heather@HawthorneCountryStore.com, call (760) 746-7816.
