    Chickens stuffed in a shelf thing!

    I'm actually shocked to see that this store actually has good reviews!! I was mortified to see how they "care" for their chickens!On one of the hottest days, the outside chickens had no water. They had a bucket that makes it impossible for the chickens to access it. In addition, they're missing feathers from either stress, being picked on or diseased. Inside the store, they had dozens of chickens stuffed in a bin and some shelf thing where the chickens were stuffed in and could barely stand. I get that they're chickens, but no animal deserves that! It was heartbreaking!

    Picked up three chicks today (two easter eggers and one olive egger) and the guy who helped me was awesome. Their selection was large so there were a lot to choose from. I had tons of probably stupid questions and he answered them all. I drove 2 hours round trip here because of how nice the employees were on the phone. I had called feed barns more local to me but they were either rude or unhelpful over the phone. Their prices were great and significantly cheaper than anyone near me. 10/10 experience highly recommend this place. I will definitely make the 2 hour round trip again for my chicken needs

    Love this store as it is a lot of fun! They have baby chicks galore! All different breeds on big tubs, simply adorable. They have everything you need to raise your backyard chickens. During this pandemic everyone is starting to raise chickens. Who doesn't want those fresh eggs and playful animals. This store is the place to go and they are super helpful with a ton of knowledge.

    Wow. Just wow. My mom has been thinking about having chickens in her yard as a hobby and so when I googled feed stores this place came up. I walked in and immediately saw what I was looking for not only do they have everything you could possibly want for chickens they had everything you could possibly want for any farm type domestic animal you could have. They had so many breeds of chicks and full size chickens to choose from and allllll of the supplies you could possibly want. This place is huge! I can't wait to make my list and head back to get it all for my mom! Such a great find! They even had baby goats and pigs for sale!

    We LOVE this place!! We hand raised all of my hens from hatchlings that we adopted from Hawthorne's. This is an old-fashioned family run country store in the heart of downtown Escondido. They have everything anyone would need to raise chickens or turkeys or goats and even dogs and cats. The staff is friendly and there is plenty of country store items to browse through.

    Great place for all your livestock and pet needs. Picked up two coop ready chickens the other day here. One Australorp and a Barred Rock for 40 bucks a piece. These are excellent egg layers.

Everything's neat, clean and organized. They always have what I need and sometimes introduce me to something newer or better. Their prices can't be beat, easily the best price on Star Milling that I've seen anywhere in the county. My cats have also gotten a better grade of food since I started buying for them here as well. Once again, they're still a bit less than the big guys down the block but for the same quality food.

Mostly they stock things you simply can't get in a chain pet food store. This place is clean and organized, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and I've never had a bad experience here. I miss the cats that used to stand guard but times change. I try to come here for as much as I can because I'm always concerned about our local businesses surviving. If you're in Escondido and looking for pet food, consider starting here just to get familiar with the place. The big chain places will be around forever, and so will the lesser grade foods they sell. This place sells only the good stuff, no garbage foods.

I spent days researching online and was ready to order everything, but I'm so glad I decided to come in person instead. I walked out of Mary's literally smiling like I just had my first kiss and blushing because I looked so good in my new riding outfit. I ended up spending about $1,000 on a pair of boots, two pairs of pants, and a top, and every single item was top-tier in quality. The fit, the feel, everything was just right. I cannot thank Jennifer enough. She helped me for nearly two hours, patiently guiding me through trying on at least five pairs of boots and almost ten outfits. She was so kind, so patient, and genuinely cared about making sure everything fit perfectly. She didn't rush me and even switched out boots just to double-check the fit. I've truly never experienced service like that in any industry. I hugged her multiple times because I was that grateful. She made me feel confident and taken care of in a way I'll never forget. Sizing varies so much between brands. I wear a large in sports bras but ended up in an extra small top from one brand, so coming in person is a must. If you're new to riding or coming back like me, skip the online guessing and come here. The options are endless, the service is next level, and the experience is unforgettable. Five stars all the way. I'll only be shopping here from now on. Thank you again, and major love to Jennifer. She's the absolute best.

We found the brand we needed which I was so excited about because no other feed store had it. I checked out with more than I originally came for, because I found more helpful things in the store for my dogs! Thank you, Tractor Supply! I will be back!!!

    Let me start by saying that this is apparently a TSC corporate issue as well as a store issue…read more I was looking for a good price on hydraulic fluid for my tractor online, and found that TSC carried what I needed. They charged about $17 to deliver in a few days or $19 to deliver on that day. I placed the order online and waited, and waited, and waited. Then I went back to check on the order and the online system said it could not be delivered that day, as promised, but would be there by 3:30pm the next day. I decided I could just pick up what I needed in Escondido, so I canceled the online order, that same day, within a few hours, using the same system I used to order it. The next day, without any communication at all, a guy shows up at my door with the product. I told him I had canceled the order. He verified to me that he was delivering on behalf of the Valley Center TSC and he was a 3rd party contractor. He said this has happened many times before. I told him I didn't need the product and to take it back. He showed me the text he sent to TSC that stated my reasons. The next day, I checked my credit card and saw the "pending" charge still sitting on the account. I waited to see if it would reconcile in the next day or so. The next day, late in the day, someone tried to deliver the pale of fluid AGAIN. This time he dropped it off on my driveway, made no attempt to contact me, and was headed up the driveway on foot when I called to him (three times) and he finally responded. I told him the order had been canceled, and I asked if he worked for TSC. He said he DID work for TSC, the SAME STORE in Valley Center that the other guy tried to deliver from. He took that pale away and I checked my credit card the next day to find that the charge was still pending. I waited for another 24 hours and low and behold the charge went from pending to CHARGED on my account. It then became a phone hassle for me to try to get my money back from a company that refused to take NO for an answer and was bent on shoving their product down my throat, no matter what. I don't know if this is a corporate issue or a store issue, but I DO know that this was no accident or miscommunication. They can't blame the computer for this. I was able to get a "Team Leader" at the store to process a "Return" for a product I never received, on an order I canceled within a couple of hours of placing it, but now I can spend even more time making sure that this happens. I always liked the store and the idea of having their products available for a reasonable price, but I will not do business with shady people, no matter how good the store may appear to be. I'm done with TSC for good, unless I get a corporate person to reach out to me and convince me that this is just the actions of a rogue store manager in Valley Center and not a typical TSC experience.

I dropped in to check it out and Deer Springs Feed & Supply had exactly what I needed.

Fast forward to the days of COVID. I had a lot to accomplish one day and I was heading to the gas station on my way home. I didn't quite make it and pulled in outside the shop. The owner appeared and assisted. I was quite embarrassed but the owner was kind. He ran to get a gas can and filled my car with a quarter tank of gas. I tried to give him money, but he would not take it. This was at a time when gas prices were on the rise. I was so appreciative of the kindness I received. I will always be a customer of this business because of this good deed. Sometimes I just stop by to purchase some dog treats or people treats from the fridge. This is a family run business and they really care about animals, people and their community. Not only did they help me as a citizen but they support causes such as the Teri Campus of Life down the road.
