Miss Moneypenny Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is there anyone else out there in my town with chickens in the garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 My brother and SIL live in Shoeburyness. They have 4 chickens roaming round their garden. No Eglu, but a lovely WIR built by my brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figarogir1 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm in shoebury with 4 chickens wandering around my garden. There are a few of us round here with chickens although I think I'm the only one on the forum you are welcome to come and visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Moneypenny Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Fab! Glad to chat to you all! I have four hens in the garden in Southchurch... I'm looking to buy organic layers pellets somewhere local, where do you buy all your chicken bits from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figarogir1 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Morleys garden centre in great wakering do a few bits but I get my organic layers pellets from the garden centre in Battlesbridge just before the narrow bridge. They are really helpful there and keep chooks themselves. I don't know if Barling poultry do organic layers - they may be worth a try.

Guest Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 And of course if you are in Battlesbridge its just a spit to my house in Rettendon. That feedstore also has a good range of mite control stuff - was the only place I could get everything I needed last year when we had red mite. If you are out this way there is a cracking chicken place just round the corner too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Not your town exactly but I'm quite near in South Woodham Ferrers. Have you tried D&F feeds in Hullbridge, they do Small Holders but not sure what other makes they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We buy Garvo feed from a place nr Wickford I'll dig out the address if you want xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz1967 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Would be good if you could let us know where you all get your feed from and what feed you get. Only place I know is the the Battlesbridge Mill Garden centre and they sell Marriges. Does anyone know if you can buy direct from Marriges????

stoice Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 i live in colchester but work in Southend. I use Garvo feed at the moment, getting it from Rosehill Hatchery, Creephedge Lane, East Hanningfield Chelmsford, Essex CM3 8BP, but have used Copdock Mill from Pottash Garden Centre, Main Road, Hawkwell, Hockley SS5 4JN, or Marriages feed from the Marriages store in Colchester (Or Upsons in Hatfield Peverel), or Allen & Page from D&F Feeds in Hullbridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'm a fancy feed girl and get mine from Hilltop farm in benfleet, It's cheaper than Small holders at D&F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Moneypenny Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Ah we could have our own little Essex group going here! Found that Pottash Nursery does Organic Layers pellets, Hawkwell... Morleys are very good for grit and oyster shell... So nice to know you all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
