Bubble Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Does anyone know if they are the same size please? My fussy chickens wouldn’t eat pellets at first but managed to get them to eat the smallholders crumble and then the pellets, which I bought by accident but the they ate as they are small. But I’ve now run out and can only get the organic ones near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippie Chick Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I don't know, I haven't seen the Smallholder's Range ones myself but the Allen and Page website states that their organic ones are "2.5mm pellet size – suitable for bantams". I use the organic ones and they are very small pellets, much smaller than other layers' pellets I've seen. If you're still unsure I can take a photo against some kind of scale for you of the organic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks Hippie chick that’s really kind of you. I went and got them anyway and they look pretty much the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I use Smallholders and have for years. The last two bags seem to have more ‘dust’ In the bottom but might just be me. The chickens like it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubble Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks Patricia, mine do seem to prefer the smallholders too. Not as interested in the organic ones but Ive now made them in porridge which they gobble up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats&Chickens Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Allen and Page organic pellets are bigger than the smallholder pellets, but if the size is an issue make it into porridge with hot water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I also use Smallholder pellets and the pellet size is ideal for my bantams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
