TOMWARDFARM Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Anyone know where in the Midlands you can buy Pellets in Bulk at good prices? Kind Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 When you say 'bulk', just how much are you looking to buy? The standard sack size is 20kg and has a best by date roughly 3 months from purchase, so unless you have an awful lot of chooks, you'd be hard pressed to get through that lot before it reaches it's best by date!

Sandychick Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Countrywide do 20kg for about the same price too. Thought mine were a hungry bunch....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 My eleven get through a 20kg sack every two weeks, and I have to ride it home on the back of a bicycle! That's over four miles if my local pet shop is out of stock. I would love a bulk free delivery of five or six sacks if anyone did it.

Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Just to let you know for all that are in the midlands / warwickshire I have found pellets for £6.25 per sack Also finally found hemcore! Hi I asked my local ag merchants and they told me Hemcore had gone bankrupt but they were still getting supplies coming through(I heard that on here as well)..if you go back would you see what they say? I much prefer Hemcore than Aubiose. Hoping they got it wrong about hemcore? indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Sorry Indie, but they've definitely gone bust. There's still some stock around it's being sold off, once that has gone... none left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Sorry Indie, but they've definitely gone bust. There's still some stock around it's being sold off, once that has gone... none left Thanks perhaps I will stock up on it..the bags are really strong to store(the aubiose is fine to but the bags are thinner and split a bit more..) Mind you at the end of the day the horse beddings are a far cry from good old straw..that takes foreever and a day to rot down Thanks indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
