jellykelly Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have just been browsing the net and found this website. The layers mash with bokashi sounded quite nice so I placed an order and brought loads. Has anyone else tried this and have your chickens turned their beaks up at it?? Thanks BTW - I made a Pecka block today courtesy of Raina's recipe - it smelt lovely as it was drying off. If it wasn't for the mealworms, I may well have had a nibble.

PeckyBeak Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've bought the Bokashi from them for some time. they deliver quite quickly usually within a week. It smells lovely, I usually mix it in with their mash at 1 scoop Bokashi to 3 scoops mash, a dash of garlic granules and a couple of teaspoons of poultry spice. Also put it in their porridge mix that I make for them on cold days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I tried the mix, didn't like it too fine and dust, I do as others and by the bran, they love it on it's own as a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 WE use them for okashi. Bought one bag first time round and it was great. Bought 3 bags the next time thinking to save money in bulk but the second bag did develop mould in it so think maybe you can't keep them as long as we need to with only two chooks. So might best just buying one at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alij Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I buy the layers mash from wiggly wigglers and all my girls love it Each morning there's the sound of contented clucking and everything else I've offered in the past is left. They all look great and today was my first 5 egg day Edna my pekin bantam Margot my naked neck Gloria my wyandotte bantam They've all come on really well since being on this mash Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grracee Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 BTW - I made a Pecka block today courtesy of Raina's recipe - it smelt lovely as it was drying off. If it wasn't for the mealworms, I may well have had a nibble. I also made one of them today from the recipe I saw that Raina put up, was pleased with the outcome and so were the chickens! I didn't put any mealworms in though, didn't think of that, my chickens do love them though so perhaps that will be an idea for the next time!

Falkor Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I use Wigglys for their Bokashi and occasionaly live meal worms! Mix it in with their Garvo and they love it! I did try the mash and Bokashi mix but as previously posted I found it very dusty...the girls would eat the chunky bits and leave the finer stuff so I would end up throwing a lot out which proved to be expensive! I think the idea of mash is that it takes longer to eat, fills crop etc but as they were leaving half of it I couldn`t be sure that they were getting all the nutrients needed so i changed to a chunkier mash (garvo) and they get pellets too! Wigglys customer service and delivery are great though! They do a chicken starter kit which i brought for a friend and she LOVED it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerryegg Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 For some reason I haven't shopped with WWs and I only live a few miles away. Will have to pop down one day as everyone seems to rate them.I've met the owner when I was working, very nice person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Clucker Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 All my girlies absolutely lurve the layers mix and love adding it to their reserve bowls of water to make their own porridge! My new brahma boy is a little confused as he was fed on pellets and can't get the hang of the grub so he gets his own bowl which he very generously deigns to share with the girls (and even lets the bunnies have a sniff) I love it, its so easy and when you make hot mash it smells like fresh bread! yum AAAAND I've found it makes their poos compst down quicker than before; not as many curry poops either since I've switched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I use the layers mash with bokashi from WW and my girls love it. They have a sort of porridge made up every morning from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 I hope it arrives soon. My bag of pellets is nearly empty!! I'm looking forward to un-smelly poo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I have WW bokashi too and yes they love it. If you want none smelly poos, get some garlic powder and put a couple of teaspoons in their food, it works like magic! it sort of neutralises the smell and if you get it from your horsey supllier its very cheap too and no, your eggs wont smell or taste garlicky!
