I explained that, but even after my explanation she still didn’t offer any advice or guidance. She just went back to working on the computer, and th

I absolutely love this place, forget tractor supply they don't know anything compared to Hawthorne country store.

Just come here, you'll feel an instant welcoming feeling and all your questions will be answered with patience and kindness. Best place for chickens and any farm needs! Hands down. Thank you guys
