Chick Days are coming to Santee on Saturday, March 8 in Santee as the Hawthorne Country Store hosts its annual spring Chick Day from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. This complementary annual celebration hosts more than 100 varieties of baby poultry. This event educates people about raising a home flock of backyard chickens and brings hundreds of families each year at its three locations.
“More and more families are finding that chickens are pets that come with great benefits, such as producing protein, creating fertilizer, and recycling waste,” said Heather Thelen, owner of Hawthorne Country Store in a press release. “We are excited to once again bring this popular event to our com-munities [Escondido, Fallbrook and Santee] and share all our chicken knowledge.”
There is also a Peep Show on Friday, March 7 from 6-8 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.
