Hi,
Mash has the same ingredients as pellets, I find Mash a waste of money as it gets scattered all over the place, pellets are much better and cost you less in the long run.
Good Luck with your new chickens, and many more to follow ;)

you can do it in your picture viewer - i know vista has a way to do it or use paint.

(i have photoshop elements, so I can't help with method, i'm afraid)

to shrink a picture using paint as advised to me by pooh porrie.
Hi if you go into paint then open your picture , then click image go to stretch an skew when the box opens put 35 in first 2 boxes and save.hope this helps 

Re mash, mix mash and pellets together for a while (so they get used to the texture) gradually increasing  the amount of pellets untill that is all that is used.
Hope this helps and good luck with the chickens.
 
 
 
Staffies are softer than you think.

Hi

  Agree mash is very wasteful we have weaned ours onto pellets  all except 2 (who use it as a dust bath) and  we have nearly halved our feed bill, not quite as wasteful if you soak it but it goes off.

Good luck with the chickens
