sezra Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 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....

jess1merlin Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joza2210 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hello , i have ordered online before but the delivery is very expensive ... Hope This Helps ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezra Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 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.

katieD Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevmatt Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 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 Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
