Egluntyne Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Oh dear.....you should always plan ahead. You will be able to go out tomorrow and find some growers pellets from a smallholding or farm shop. For today I would mix some layers pellets and a sugar and salt free breakfast cereal half and half and make do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeastar--x Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 i did a stupid thing and ordered a huge £20 sack on ebay that wont get here till wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 You can't be sure that it will arrive on Wednesday tbh. You should really try and find a small sack of growers pellets, ideally tomorrow and cut your losses. Do you have any hen keeping contacts locally who could help you out. What about the breeder?

Janty Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Are you able to get some growers pellets tomorrow? If not, then I have some that I can send to you first thing in the morning. They won't arrive until Tuesday but they would tide you over until your sack came and would put your mind at rest. Let me know before 5ish as I wil package them up and ask my Dad to take them home with him and send them in the morning (I have school tomorrow, like you).

Mollystar Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Where abouts are you? I can spare some if you are local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeastar--x Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 i live in essex in epping if you could send me some pellets that would be so kind as the breeder is about an hour or so drive we live in a town with a limited supply of farms around so we cant just pop down and get some. weve just been feeding them weetabix for 2 days its not ideal and im getting really worried about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
