Chick Day at Old Mill is
always the first Saturday in April. We're currently talking with the hatcheries to determine what breeds
will be available this year. Check back in coming weeks for a list, then reserve your favorites for Chick Day
on April 7, 2012!
Most people know that baby chickens are called chicks, but did you know that female chicks are called pullets
and male chicks are called cockerels? A pullet becomes a hen only after she has produced her first egg. A mature
cockerel is a rooster.
Baby ducks are ducklings, baby geese are goslings, and baby
turkeys are poults. Call them what you want, watching them will bring a smile, guaranteed!
We stock local grass hay in 55-60lb bales. This provides good, low-protein fibre for most horses
and other livestock. Need higher protein? We have 75-80lb bales of alfalfa or orchard grass from Central
Oregon. We also stock Certified Weed-Free compressed bales of alfalfa or timothy grass from Southern Idaho. These
55-60lb bales are small enough to fit in your trunk, yet offer high-quality forage. Whatever your hay needs, we'll
do our best to have what you need, when you need it.
