Cooks Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Anyone use Bearts Layers/Growers pellets?? how have you found them? They are a lot cheaper than some but I have been told that they are pretty good but I would like your opinions. Good and Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Never tried the brands you've mentioned Cookie,but mine are currently on 'Farmgate' mash from Bottisham and i must say their appetite for this stuff is very very good.Its a lot more grainier than Dodson & Horrells mash,but it dont have the pleasing smell.

quickcluck Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm a fancy feeds girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 well mine are on garvo but the availability for me is a problem if I suddenly need more feed so I was thinking of switching to a feed I can get locally. Stevie does bottisham only sell mash?? thats only up the road from me and I have read about farmgate last night on the net funny enough. mine hated fancy feeds .. shame as it was cheap.

The Dogmother Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I switch around but haven't seen that brand around here. Mine usually get Smallholder pellets, tried the Dodson & Horrell mash, but they hated it and made such a mess. They like Garvo mash, but it's hard for me to get as the stockist near here isn't open at weekends. They do make such a mess with mash too, despite having non-mess feeders! If you want a pet disinfectant, then try Virkon, Bio VX, Viratec P or Barrier V1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 yup I made a boo boo once and bought mash instead of layers (the bacgs are really alike on smallholders) so I gave the part used sack to Redwing, it drove me crazy with the mess they made.. :lol: I felt like following them around with a dustpan and brush..

Yes-only mash Cookie,but i find chooks prefer it over pellets and atleast im guaranteed they're eating.Its about £7 per bag which is about same as Dodson & Horrells,but like i said earlier-it dont have the nice smell for some reason.Infact it dont really smell of anything,but the chooks like it which is what matters.

Chook n Boo Mum Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have mash and pellets in the winter & make the mash up into porridge for the little darlings at teatime..once the weather warms up properly I shall stop the mash porridge again Yes I know I can make porridge from pellets, but I just prefer to make it from mash..and the feathered ones think it's a treat as it's different & is served in bowls rather than the feeders Bless them Mine were less than impressed with the Farmgate stuff......they are Smallholders Free Range girls , never heard of the Beardy one Cookie Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
