sarabb4 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hello all Sorry if this is an oft repeated topic.. I always used to buy the Smallholders range of Layers pellets, then we got exbatts so switched to the exbatts crumb.., then ended up using Omlet's layers pellets. About to start a new flock of hopefully 7 bantams. They will all be around 16wks and part fr/part WIR.. I don't drive so will need the feed delivered. What do you suggest, considering price & suitability? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabb4 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Any thoughts anyone? I just wondered if there was an firm favourite amongst omletters? I can't remember why I switched from the Smallholders range to Omlet own.. Possibly cos at the time Omlet delivery was most efficient... But there seem to be a lot more options now than when I first started keeping chooks 9 years ago.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I think I prefer either the fancy feed company as it seems good and smallholders range, I think they do layers for free ranging hens. I've also used Dodson & Horrel and Farmgate brand as well. I just get whatever I can when I'm near chicken feed places really. My hens are not fussy thankfully & egg production and hens condition has been good with with all brands. I dont need to get mine delivered so can't comment on that side of things.

good_egg Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Garvo for me... Also get it delivered. Would stick to the pellets though, alfamix is a slippery slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Smallholders pellets are as good as any, I'd avoid changing around too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlina Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If you have a Countrywide store near you they deliver (for free if it's a certain amount) I use Allen and Page organic layers pellets which they all like - including the new girls who had something different before (I mixed the old-type of food they came with, with 'my' food for a bit to get them used to the change) I've just started getting stuff delivered since I got 'morehens' - the delivery was free as I arranged it in store, but the website wanted to charge!
