wee_deec Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 What is the most popular / best feed for chickens? I've read a few people on here talk about Garvo, but it seems pretty expensive for feed (although I am just starting out)... Plus postage seems to be pricey! Also, where do you get your feed from? If online, could you provide the website? Would anyone recommend buying from a local farmer? Thanks, Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I use Golden Yolk Layers Pellets from my local Equestrian suppliers. They cost about 7 quid per sack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I get Gavro, it comes from a place a few miles from me and they deliver free (the lady rides her horse that is kept nearby so drops the bags off on route), the layers pellets are £9.20, my chicks have Gavro but aren't very keen! They are all healthy, but I don't know that is just because of Garvo - I would like to take some of the credit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Mine are usually on Marriages Layers Mash (about £8 for 20kg) from our local equestrian shop, but when I couldn't get that last time I bought a bag of Spillers Layers Mash from our local farm shop Pet Warehouse place. which I think is a bit more powdery but they don't seem to mind and both girls fine and very healthy and laying well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Marriages pellets here! Heygates if they are out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I've finally plumped for Garvo - lots of ideas on 2 recent threads..............check out their website and find local suppliers - there's 2 in Lancs - 1 will only be £9.50 for 20kg You might find somewhere relatively close x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I've recently gone back to Ex-Batt crumb. Less mess than mash, more palatable then pellets. They've all dived into it beak first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
