quickcluck Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Has anyone else noticed this? I'm frustrated. We are using Fancy Feeds at the moment, which is now almost £10 a sack. I changed to Marriages but they are scoffing sooooo much of that, much more than FF, and today that was almost £10 too!!!! What's a girl to do???

beulah59 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I can't really tell since my supplier changed their feed so we're trying out others across the price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 sadly it the price is link to the commodity market price of wheat and soya both of which have gone through the roof just lately. it doesn't help that the girls have been eating more this last month or so to keep warm mind that said my mob have eaten a bit less this week I've got an extra 2 days out of this weeks bag I'm feeding Matador £10.50 a bag and well pleased with the quality of the eggs plus my mob look a lot smarter too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I havent really noticed. In saying that, once my pet food bill passed my human food bill by some measure I stuck my fingers in my ears and started singing 'la la la la' When it snowed last month we hit an all time high of £90 a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearls007 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Lawks Redwing! Our two cost less than that for a year's worth of Garvo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thats for all of the animals and birds. Thats plus bedding, medications, equipment etc though! If I thought too hard about it I think my head would explode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearls007 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 In that case I'd say £90 was a complete bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly1979 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ours has been slowly creeping up too Nearly out of bedding food and cat food I was going to ask OH to go yesterday but thought heck if he knew the true cost then there would be fireworks so I shall go tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think my last bag of pellets cost around £12, which is an increase of nearly 25% from four years ago - as said above, it's linked to the cost of cereals. However if this is a better summer, as we hope, and cereal prices fall, I bet the price of pellets won't go down! It always makes me laugh when I hear the phrase 'chicken feed' meaning something insignificant. If they only knew ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I feed Heygates and it is (I think) £7.30 a bag. So not too bad at all by the sounds of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I feed Heygates and it is (I think) £7.30 a bag. So not too bad at all by the sounds of it! Can I ask where you get it from? Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 SAPS. They stock it in both Stamford and Oakham stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torgrosset Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I feed Heygates and it is (I think) £7.30 a bag. So not too bad at all by the sounds of it! Was just about to say the same thing!!!! Two of my local suppliers also sell Heygates Layers Pellets and at both shops it costs less than £7.50 a bag. I'm in North Lincs so the lower price for Heygates must be a "national" RRP. My girls always gobble it all up, so I'm not complaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
