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.

I normally…read morecome for waterfowl feed but have been frequently surprised to find things I normally get elsewhere ( cat food ) here, but at a better price. 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 just have to say how incredibly grateful I am for Mary's Tack and Feed. I haven't ridden in over…read more10 years, and while I grew up around horses, I truly had no idea where to start when it came to getting new gear. 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.

They were readily helping customers and filling orders for them. There's parking in front and more on a paved service and turn to the left.

We were so excited to get chickens and chose Backyard Chickies based on the cute branding and…read moreoverall tone of the website, so excited for our backyard chickies! Well this business does not match that vibe and it's unprofessional. I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 because because our situation hasn't turned out fully awful (yet) and Rene did help us out in a unique situation. I originally contacted Rene to purchase 4 baby chicks. Immediately the communication was tough. Only through text, the responses were very slow and short and wouldn't answer all of the questions, the tone was very dry. I get it, she's busy on the farm. But we discussed which breeds and I paid. She met me in a random motel parking lot and handed over the 4 babies, it felt like a chickie drug deal. She said customers cannot come to the farm because of bio hazards, I'm sure that's a legitimate reason but it also feels like a convenient excuse to keep people away from seeing what I assume is just a mess. I asked if she could send me any photos and her response was "if I sent customers photos I'd be doing it all day". That should give you an idea of the vibe of her texts and again seems weird we can't see the living situation before adopting live animals. Rene it sounds like you have a need for photos, maybe get someone else to do it??? One of the babies was NOT what we had agreed upon and she didn't even tell me ahead of time, just handed me that baby along with the others. Whatever. One of those babies ended up dying on night number two, who knows why, it's probably not Rene's fault. The other 3 grew up to be healthy and thrive. Unfortunately that one she gave us that was different from what we ordered grew up to be incredibly loud and obnoxious. It was an issue with our neighbors. So I reached out to Rene and asked if there was any way I could trade her for the type we originally wanted. She agreed to it and I also said I'd like to buy an additional one since we originally wanted 4 anyway. I wanted adults this time to make it easier to introduce them faster to our other two and she told me she only had young babies. Fine. Again the communication was so slow but we finally got her to do it. She brought me two full on adult chickens. This is after we prepped for babies and bought baby chick food, etc. I thought she said she didn't have adults?? So here's the bigger issue now. The 2 new ones she brought arrived sick. Their eyes are bubbly and watery, they're sneezing. She claims she examined them before selling them but I'm calling BS. Within one minute of getting them home I could tell they were sick and I'm no expert. They were also all grimy which she claims is because she sprayed them with something to kill mites. She offered to swap them out again but now I actually feel bad about sending these girls back to this disaster and feel terrible we sent the baby we raised back there. So we took these two new girls to the vet and spent $300 on antibiotics that didn't work and the vet said she's heard of this place and people having health issues with their chickens so this is common. In summary, Rene is not doing this because she loves Chickies. It's clear they're just livestock to her and she seems completely unorganized and unaware of what breeds she has, what ages of chickens she has, and the place is covered in mites and obviously mareks too and good luck getting responses out of her. Please go join the group on Facebook called Backyard Chickens (similar name but not associated with this farm) and you will find resources and people there to help you start your flock if you're looking to do it.

I ordered a Silver Laced Polish pullet hen that was delivered a bit younger and pecked at. As the…read morehen grew (Polish are difficult to sex early on), it turned out the she was a he. Rene mentioned if it turned out to be a rooster, she would swap him for a hen - she stayed true to her word. While he was a handsome guy, the early and all day crowing was too much, especially living in the middle of LA. Rene swamped him with a beautiful girl who integrated into our small flock of 2 without issue. Although there are some negative reviews on Backyard Chickies, I would order from them again. The initial pickup and swap coordination were easy and nearby my home. Both the rooster and hen were healthy. A reminder that a new addition should be quarantined from the flock for at least a week before safely introducing them.
