MotherOnMotherEarth Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I am currently feefing my chickens some bog standard layers pellets and their eggs are not as good as they were when we got them as resue hens from a freerange farm. Which ones would be good for for 2 year old hens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My preference is Allen & Page Smallholder Layers Pellets .... but you'll get lots of different answers to this question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I use Allen & Page Smallholder too - Layers Meal rather than pellets, but it's the same stuff, just crumbs instead of pellets. I used ex batt crumb before that which was fab too, but after we'd had our ex batts for 18 months hubby pointed out that they were probably rehabilitated from being battery hens and perhaps we could save £3 a bag by switching to the layers meal... he had a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks76 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I've been using something called Centenary Layer Pellets. Only £7 for 20kg...I'm thinking of spending £20 on an organic pack (same size) with marigold leaves to give the yolks good colour. I've heard Marriages (or something like that) are good but I've got no stockists nearby and postage makes it too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
