Neal 1,784 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 You should try Welsumers. My Wyandotte bantams can polish off a handful or more of pellets each day whereas my Welsumers survive almost complately on grass, weeds, spiders etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borntoshoot 1 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 £11 quid for a 20kilo sack at local petfood superstore and £13 for a 20kilo sack at local feed merchant/poultrydealer but we are happy to pay that bit extra to a small local business rather than a massive superstore.

SNAP SHOT 194 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just a heads up for you all, All poultry based foods as well as animal feeds are going to rise sharply within the next month, due to climate pressures, maize is being hit sharply at the minute price wise, as is wheat Ask your local supplie Is there any word of a price rise , As i've just got a heads up from a contact this morning, We are being told there will be a shortage due to crop failure in America, and the fires in russia are putting pressure on the market... But i'm sure this is just a tactic to rise the price... Snap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
