Chicken Day April 4th

Old Mill and Feed in Dallas Oregon will be hosting their annual Chick Day this April 4th. http://oldmillfeed.com/index.html

What I have on order:
2 Rhode Island Reds (for eggs)
2 Broilers (should be mature for butchering by the 4th of July)
1 miscellaneous breed of Bantam (miniature chicken)

Pictures coming soon - also I built a coop, pics of that coming soon too.

A very helpful resource for raising chicks / chickens can be found at:
