buffie Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 You can get it at flyte so fancy Pam. www.flytesofancy.co.uk. The A&P website is being updated but should be live soon I'll let you know if I hear a date. Any feed merchant 'should' be able to get it in for you.

buffie Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I just wanted to say that with my brain slightly disengaged I said that A&P grow all the grains in their feeds. Sorry this simply wouldn't be possible for the quantities they need BUT the great news is that where ever possible the ingredients are British and sourced locally If any of you have a have ordered your feed please let us know on this thread and we can compile a list Oh and a reminder, it won't necessarily be a stock item so please ask for it to be ordered Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well, I have tried it, the bantam babes wolfed it down and seemed happy and healthy on it. I only bought a 5kg sack to try, but once this current bag of Smallholders is finished, I will order a 20kg bag of the crumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I went to my usual feed supplier - Estate Supplies, Ashley, Cheshire - today to order a bag of the crumbs, and they said that they ordered some about 3 weeks ago and it hasn't yet arrived. They are hoping it will be here sometime this week - will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourbecameeight Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I am using the ex-batt crumb and pellets for my new ex-batts I got last Saturday. They seem to be enjoying it and I have just put an order in for another bag of the crumb so I don’t run out. They are doing really well and the combs are getting pinker and new feathers can be seen. I am going to move all my chickens over to the pellets so they can all benefit from the better nutrition. I was able to order it from White Horse Feeds Ltd, Childrey, Oxfordshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well, I have tried it, bought it from Jude at Cotswold Chickens; the bantam babes wolfed it down and seemed happy and healthy on it. I only bought a 5kg sack to try, but once this current bag of Smallholders is finished, I will ask her to order me in a 20kg bag of the crumb. Buffster, do you want the full details of the stockist? The link is great Clare Thanks. By the way I'll email you tomorrow, missed an email in my old hotmail account, sorry Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daj198 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I asked my supplier to get some in a week ago and I haven't had a call from them yet which is odd as they get two deliveries per week. Perhaps it is hard for them to get hold of at the moment? Huge demand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I was lucky, I ordered mine and it arrived within a week of ordering. The girls are very pleased with it. The Riding Habit, Queensbury, Bradford, BD13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 If it's a while I'd chase it up, it's readily available I'll be ordering some more from Collins Petfoods in Hardingstone, Northants in a week or so. They stock the Organic food, which I used to buy but we're happy and changing to the The ex Bats feed now Buffie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Mine have been on this for 4 weeks now and seem to be doing very well . Daisy even seems to be getting tummy feathers at last (still no knickers though ) My stockist was just a local pet shop - Romadorns in Great Clacton - which doesn't have a website so I can't post a link.

Cooks Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 my local stockist now has it in, so I will be getting it the next time I am low on pellets. I squealed when I saw it and said oooooooooh it's the Battery Hen pellets!!! The man looked at me rather oddly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One_Box Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Buffie, I get my Battery Hen pellets from WJ Pardy, Gorse Farm, Blissford, Fordingbridge 01425 653250. At the moment a 20kg bag costs £9.80. I'm going to try the crumbs soon once my current supply of layers mash is finished.

ali-s Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I bought a 5kg bag yesterday from my local feed supplier. They were stocking pellets and crumb and also had a pile of information leaflets. I don't have any ex bats but I am hoping the feed will give elderly Bantam Bubbles a boost.

buffie Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well done guys, at some point I'll make a list. A tad busy at the moment but it will happen On my last bag now and we're going to stick to the ex bat pellets, they have been a real hit!
