| Everybody loves the Old Mill Chicken. |
Here are some poultry terms you'll want to know: 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!

Hay. We've Got It. 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.
