Hi everyone,

 

It's been an expensive year thus far, what with car insurance in January, breakdown, recovery and repairs in February - I also have vehicle road tax at the end of March

 

And so, having collected a couple of hens last w/e, I am now faced with buying their regular food supplies, etc. I just telephoned the local pet shop and they're quoting me £12.99 for 20kg of layers pellets and the same price for the same size mixed corn. Sounds expensive to me - sure it wasn't as much in Somerset ...

 

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a reasonably priced supplier? I am looking for a regular order of layers pellets, mixed corn and grit.

 

Many thanks

Depends where you are in Surrey. I am currently buying from Rokers Farm, Fairlands, Guildford. You can also buy feed at Scats stores.

Don't know where you are in Surrey but I too have found Rokers (attached to a golf course) they had all sorts and brands, not just for chickens.

 

I was in animal feed heaven. Came back with a boot full of Garvo.

and right around the corner there is another one..name gone right out of my head. and Backhurst in Normant Glaziers lane.

Thinking about it if you search for Animal feed Surrey, you should get the full list!

Try Attlee's in Dorking if you live/go that way. Very helpful and make their feed for chickens and horses on site. I think the last time I bought layers, they were £7.99 for 20kg. It is an animal feed shop with horses, cats, dogs and all small animals/birds catered for. They are open everyday except Sunday.

Many thanks everybody!

 

I remembered the name of a garden centre I pass on the way home from work and, thanks to the power of the internet, find they supply at under £9.00 a bag for both layers pellets and mixed corn.

 

I can't believe how expensive it is to keep a few gardens hens "in town"

 

Enjoy your w/e folks!

just read that you have scats in surrey...well it is southern counties so I should have thought. They will order in for you..anything you like. However I buy the smallholder range which they sell off the shelf...and if you ask nicely they will order a few (thus costing you less) and store them on their shelves out the back for you to collect as and when you need...they have 6 bags for me...but admited to having sold 4 last week and re - ordered. They mentioned they had large sacks to everyone who bought..I now don't have to order and will not have an order charge

Which bit of Surrey are you in? There is a Scats in Nutfield/Redhill, which is nearer my bit of Surrey!

I am in Morden - more like South West / Greater London than the wilds of Surrey ...

Where you live is LONDON to us Surreyites here in deepest Dorking in the Surrey Hills. If you get chance to head this way, the countryside is beautiful.
