fluffyknickers Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 What do you all think of the new pets at home chicken range? I went and had a look yesterday and bought some egg boxes (I think it was £1.99 for ten) and a small plastic drinker for when they are free ranging. I am sure it isnt cheap but that had a nice little range there of stuff like louse powder, red mite, pellets, small to huge drinkers, grit, corn. They did have Verm-x too. Just shows how popular its getting. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Some of it is quite expensive, the grit is packaged very 'country kitchen' in wholesome brown paper but is very expensive for the quantity, the egg boxes are also quite expensive The things that are good value for money are the red base feeders and drinkers, they are better made and designed than the same sort of thing from elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I bought some chick crumbs there the other day as my usual stockist hadn't got any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenfreek Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 They've got a few good bits. but i think a lot of it s over priced..... for example they have a food scoop for about £8 and one for £6 but if u wander round the store they have about another 6 for different pets all a lot cheaper. I got the chicken Leg rings from there (£1.99) and a water feeder(£6.99) and a food feeder thing (£8.99) EDIT - And 2 cat food scoops for 99p each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 They had corn on the cob there but it was really pricey. I have bought the girls 6 mini corn on the cob from iceland for £1, much better value You can also get the dried mealworms cheaper elsewhere too. However, handy to know in an emergency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I bought 10 dried corn on the cob from there ages ago. The girls wouldn't even look at them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 it's handy to know that they are doing chicken stuff - my sis-in-law has just bought four girlies and whoever sold them to her didn't advise her to get any grit!! I have given her some of mine, but at least she can go and get some for herself now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My local one charges £16.99 for a sack of layers pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 That is an absolute rip off! I bought a 25 kilo bag the other day for £6 at a local farm supply shop in Chelford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 My local one charges £16.99 for a sack of layers pellets Ouch, I could buy about three bags for that price from Mole Valley! With the drinkers how much are they? Mole Valley do5 litre ones for just over £2.50 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CluckyBucks Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The massive bags of pellets look alright, but the price tag isnt. Try and befreind people who work at farms, they usually have pellets and corn, crumb, ect and will sell it you for a cheap price xx xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
