After a staff member hatched a chick who needed a bit more attention she knew exactly who could help her keep an eye on it, store cat Cyd.

Cyd has now been named official chicken baby-cyd-er, and as you can see, he takes this role very seriously.

This is on top of his current job duties of taste tester, store greeter, and cat toy quality control, proving that he's more than just a personality hire!

If you stop by the Lumby store be sure to say hello to Cyd.

One of the many things we love about the Mad Barn website is their commitment to horsemanship and welfare, in particular their up to the moment Heat Index and Air Quality Index tools.

The can be located under the the learn section of the Mad Barn website and to use you simply need to enter your address and the index will tell you the current risks based on your local heat, humidity, and air quality.

We predict that these tools will be invaluable to local horse people over the next months as we deal with the heat of summer and the potential for poor air quality.

What do you do with your farm scraps?

These chickens are snacking on the plants leftover after harvesting peas.

Giving scraps like this to chickens can add enrichment to their lives and diets but remember that snacks should make up no more than 10% of your chicken's diet. By ensuring that 90% of their diet is a balanced feed formulated for chickens you can rest easy knowing that they're receiving all the necessary nutrients they need for growth, egg production, and overall health.

We proudly stock poultry feed for all ages and life stages of poultry. We also have organic and non-GMO options to suit your needs.

Many of us have been able to harvest our first cut of hay over the past few weeks but, for those who purchase all their hay from local farmers, what should you be looking for when you buy your hay?

-Good quality hay has a pleasant, grass type scent. Avoid hays that have off odours that can signify moulding or bacteria growth.

-Horses often prefer soft and leafy hay over hay with thickened stalks, this is especially true of senior horses who have poor dentition.

-Examine inside the bales, especially in stacked hay that may be discoloured on the outside due to sun exposure.

-Avoid overly heavy bales or those that are warm to the touch as these can be indicators of high moisture content.

-Only buy what you can safely store. Hay that has been left outside and exposed to the elements before feeding quickly loses nutrients and has an increased risk of mould growth.

-Not all horses require a low NSC hay, but for those who do have these metabolic requirements, conduct a forage analysis prior to feeding.

This is in no means an exhaustive list of what you can look for in hay. If you have further questions about the best hay for your horse we recommend that you reach out to your veterinarian or an equine nutritionist for more information.
