Winkley's Liberty Hill

"I have lived near the area for about 7 months. I have gone to the Liberty Hill TSC for most of my needs to date. Today I had a laundry list of pre-spring needs and had found this place online with great reviews. I’m all about supporting small business and want to whenever possible so I made the drive across the intersection to Winkley’s. Overall I liked the store. They have ALOT of things in a small space. Some of their prices weren’t very competitive but they are a local small business so I expected that they wouldn’t be. What turned me off the most is their baby chick policy. I had browsed their website and LOVE that they post their incoming chick inventory so you could try and plan. I am actually looking to get 5 spring chicks of certain breeds that they happened to have today from leftover deliveries. But the condition I saw some chicks in left me questioning if I ever come here again for my chicken needs. There were chicks from a delivery a week ago that had pasty butt as well as 2 that had something so wrong they were having their back ends pecked to the point of bleeding and malformation. I get it, it happens, but it is unacceptable to me that they do not have staff attentive enough to realize that there are chicks that are unhealthy enough to he removed or even culled. I hated watching the baby stammering in the enclosure with a backside torn up of its feathers. I would not buy any chicks from that enclosure. And unlike TSC, this place makes you fill out an “order form” and they go back and select what you get while you wait up front. No thank you. I want to have a say in how healthy the chicks I pay for look. I’m not writing Winkleys off but it was a pretty bad first impression as I explored the store. Don’t get me started on the 4 Tamuk bunnies crammed into a hutch not even suitable for 1 rabbit. I almost bought them all just to get them out of those conditions."

"Great hardware store where you can find almost anything. Great and friendly service."

"This is an awesome place, I’ll try to find what I need here first. If they don’t have it (which is not often) they will be quick to get it for you. Awesome people and service."

"Winkley’s is awesome. General store with the things we need. Staff have always helped with our questions."

"This place has the worst business practices I have ever seen. They just don’t care. Drive hours for a purchase and waited 3 hours to be loaded. Which never happened. This place should sell to someone that believes in taking care of customers. DON’T Waste your time here."
