speckled hen Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hello My girls have organic layers at the moment, unfortunately the price keeps going up, nearly £15 a sack. I am wondering if there is an alternative layer out there that is of good quality (dont want my girls having rubbish) what does everyone use? I feed them non organic s"Ooops, word censored!"s etc so its the quality of feed im concerned about. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I feed Marriages as I can get it locally and it seems to have a good reputation but the girls liked the Smallholder brand best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I feed mine Dodson & Horrals GM free layers mash and cost me last week £7.40 for standard 20kg sack.Mine never really liked the Omlet organic stuff,but go absolutely nuts for this.

Barkisland Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I use Smallholders now, they seem to like it better than the cheaper 'own brand' stuff I got from a local feed manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Smallholders here - layers, chick crumb, growers & mixed corn - all natural & non-GM. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled hen Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks guys, I really want them to have good stuff. We have a really good supplier, but they are very agricultural and look at me like "oh no its one of those city dwellers trying to be a country lass!!!"
