Chick Days at Walkertown Mill Farm Lawn

Walkertown Mill Farm Lawn & Garden is excited to announce that they will be having Chick Days at Walkertown Mill this spring!

 

We will have one March 12th and one on April 9th. Chicks will be available by PRE-ORDER ONLY! There are 26 chicken breeds available and 10 duck breeds available to order. Almost all of the chicks & ducks will be available in both females & males. All chicks will come vaccinated for Marek's Disease. Orders ...are due by FEB 1st for the March 12th Chick Day and due by MARCH 1st for the April 9th Chick Day. This is a great opportunity to start your own back yard flock or add to your existing flock without having to meet the large minimum order number that most hatcheries require. We have not set a minimum order number but do strongly recommend you order at least 3 chicks or ducks. They are both very social creatures and do best in groups of their own kind.

March 12th and April 9th, starting at 6pm, we will feature poultry experts from Nutrena and Blue Seal to answer your poultry questions and lots of info to help get your chicks off to a great start. We will have door prizes, coupons and refreshments. This is open to ANYONE interested in learning more about poultry.

 

Sign up for the Chick Day seminars by visiting Walkertown Mill (5084 Harley Drive. Walkertown, NC 27051) or calling 336-595-2321. We will NOT have chicks available to purchase on those days...you MUST PRE-ORDER your chicks to be picked up those evenings.

Stop in at Walkertown Mill to place your Chick order and sign up for the Chick Day Seminar. The order book includes pictures, descriptions and prices for all chicks and ducks available.

Rain, Rain and More Rain

It is still raining here. The last time I looked at the rain gauge we had 4 inches since last Tuesday. Surprisingly, since we are in a flood plain, there are few puddles. We've been so dry for the past two or so years that most of it is soaking in. Our creek is not even up enough to wash down some logs that are in it. The wind blew all day Wednesday with rain falling and we lost power for about 1-1/2 hours in the afternoon. Pine trees with small root systems are mostly the problem. This morning early our power blinked too. Our tree people haven't been able to work for two days. Too messy! Spent the day yesterday, wrapping soap. Good day to get that done since it was raining and we had no power. I'm caught up for once with that chore. The Blue Seal rep for North Carolina came Wednesday afternoon to go over the feeds that we use and talk to us about their products. She will be getting back to us in a week or so and go over their pricing for various products. In our area, Blue Seal products are available at Walkertown Mill Farm, Lawn & Garden in Walkertown, NC.
