Is an Eglu fox proof or just 'resistant'?

[Tweety]

Hi all,

 

I am having difficulty getting a regular supply of Garvo layers pellets, much to my disappointment. The place I have been getting it from only ever seems to have Alfamix and Mixed Corn in stock recently, so I am looking for an alternative which is as good as Garvo if there is such a thing.

 

I used to give the girls Ex Batt Crumbs, but they were laying a lot of softies as well as making a mess with the crumbs- which is why I tried Garvo, with excellent results.

 

Any recommendations for a good layers pellet would be much appreciated.

If I couldnt get Garvo then Marriages would be my next choice followed by Fancy Feed followed by Smallholder

 

None are as good as Garvo in my humble opinion but they are all good quality feeds

Mine loved Omlet's feed. But I can get Garvo which works put cheaper and no P&P charge which is the main reason why I swapped.

(P.S. I believe Marriages make Omlet's feed).

I used to use Garvo Alpha mix but found that my chooks always hoovered up the dried grubs in it and left the rest so I worried about them getting a good balanced diet. They are now very happy with Omlet's organic crumbs which they really seem to like. I think it is actually made by Marriages but could be wrong. I do put the odd table spoon of Garvo treats in there and it seems to me to work every bit as well as Garvo Alpha mix.

I get Garvo from here if it helps http://www.sturmanscornandseed.co.uk/

My chooks turned their beaks up at Garvo, just as well as I can't get it now.

Thanks everyone. I will try them on Marriages, with Alfamix for treats, and see how they get on.

What is Alfamix?

Dont think I have seen it, googled it and got rubbish

It's a sort of treat of mixed grains and dried shrimps

 

Chickens are omnivores and out in the open they would naturally eat vegetation, berries and insects, in addition to seeds. Alfamix chickens gives a natural balance, as it contains shell grit, vegetables and dried lobster, in addition to the seeds. The food contains healthy fatty acids (for example from linseed) and natural carotene. The composition makes the food complete, specifically balanced to keep your chickens’ perfectly healthy and help develop a high level of natural resistance.

 

They love it but it's far too expensive to feed regularly.

When mine aren't on garvo they like wiggley wigglers layers mash with bokashi. They actually eat this happily and from time to time you get free delivery which is good for u too Alli x

Do you feed Garvo layers pellets, I thought I might try my ex batts on them as they seem to be popular with omleteers Looking at their website they seem to make lots of poultry feed.

 

Thanks Chrissie

Mine sometimes have Garvo, just depends on what I have the time to travel to buy; they seem to like them as much as the Smallholders.
