Olly Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 As far as I know 'Smallholder' is a brand name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yes Smallholder is the brand. I use Smallholder layers and think it's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 My preference is for the Smallholder range (made by Allen & Page) as it's GM & hexane free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I googled and very quickly found this site which tells you all about the brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dora Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I can highly recommend small holder range . Last September I went to a River Cottage Autumn Fayre and got talking to the rep for them , she recommended trying the ex-batts range for my 2 girls as Ginger in particular was looking really bedraggled with poor feather growth (she was a prolific egg layer and nearly 4yrs old ) and the egg shells were getting thinner - tried chicken spice , the vet etc. After using the feed for about a month feathers fully restored and added bonus she was laying again !! This Spring she has now stopped laying but still looks beautiful and is happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
