HENthusiastic Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 HI. The bloke who sells me my layers pellets has just told me that Allen and Page (I think) have brought out a new kind of pellets especially for ex batts! Its supposed to have extra protein in to help them re-feather etc. Initially me and OH went and tut tutted at the marketing scam. "As if ex-batts need different food" we said. "Ours were okay with layers pellets"........... then, approximately 4 hours later we met 8 new ex-batts (see other post "Luckiest hens in Yorkshire) and now.......... yes you guessed it, we are going to buy them a bag of special ex-batt food soft or what??

buffie Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yes I've updated that post and the food is a special formulation for all laying hens and not just ex batts. I'll lock this now to keep the posts in one place. Buffie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
