2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[sezra]

Hi

 

Sorry, I haven't been on for a while as thankfully my chicken keeping has been running nice and smoothly!

 

I have been travelling to get my chicken supplies about once a month and I have decided I might try and find a supplier to deliver to save me some time.

 

I am presently using Small holder free range layer mash whch they seem quite happy with but I am open to change if anyone can reccomend a good feed that can be delivered.

 

All suggestions welcome....

Newland Grange poultry - www.newlandgrange.co.uk do all the Garvo range by mail order I believe. Mine love the mash! You would have to check on the price of delivery.

Manor farm granaries sell online, I think they are something to do with Dodson & Horrell, that's the brand of food they sell.

 

I bought grower's pellets and corn off them last year and I believe they have an offer on at the moment, 10% off.

Hello ,

i have ordered online before but the delivery is very expensive ...

 

Hope This Helps ...

Thank you for your suggestions.

 

The postage does seem expensive, as much as another sack of food! Maybe I should just double up when I go shopping in the car!

 

What is considered the best food? Is Smallholders good stuff? I have just used it because it was what is available. My local pet store (a chain) sells their own brand but only in pellets. I dont mind introducing them to pellets but I want to make sure they get a good quality feed.

it might be worth ringing round horse feed shops that are localish?

 

i get my horse feed delivered free and they bring poultry food too!

Many horse-feed suppliers will also supply chicken feed, and a lot of them deliver. Take a look at yell.co.uk, search for "feed merchants" in "Bicester". The first couple on the list say that they deliver.

We use Fancy Feed Range - and really like it. I used to use a local merchants own brand ut the birds seem to do better on the Fancy Feed Range. It is slightly more expensive but I think it is money worth spending. I think it would be a comparable price to the small holders range.

Postage is very expensive for feed as the couriers charge a fortune for 20kgs bags - about £7 - £8. So definately worth buying a few bags at a time in the car.

Good luck
