This complimentary annual celebration 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 on Friday, March 7, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. 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. This unique pre-show event sells out every year and is only available by ticket.
