chestnutmare Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Does anybody know why the smallholder range layers pellets are advertised as for 'free range' hens? Is there something lacking in the feed which makes it unsuitable for chickens not kept permanently free range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Since they dont seem to sell layers pellets that arent free range my guessing is its simply some nice wording to fit with their smallholder image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlina Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 i *think* it's because they are a 'complete' food apart from grit - on the assumption that they pick up grit from free ranging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
