Our New Hens

Hi!!  I just fill their feeding containers up with layers pellets and they just help themselves.   

They really look lovely girls, a nice mixture of colours. You may get the odd egg or 2, I think most of us are now getting a reduced number. How old are your girls, do they have names yet? Im sure you will be a fantastic chooky parent. Congratulations on your new arrivals, and remember, we are all here if you need any help.

Best wishes,

Mary.

thank you Mary & ANHBUC, no we haven't named them yet ill save that for the girls when they come back from uni, I will get some wormer from mvf that's where I got the layers pallets £8 is that good?. 1 or 2 do get out but go back thats only because of the alpacas i think they not to sure of them lol, i would love them to run free in the paddock but want to make sure they wont go off how long do you think I should leave them in the goats enclosure, there house on wheels its useful so I can just push it round. sorry they are about 25 weeks

I get my layers pellets from Mole Valley Farmers too. I read somewhere that you should beed them "good quality layers pellets". Does anyone know if "own brand" would fall into that category? I think mvf have a good reputation for their stuff.
Thanks. BG

I buy a local brand "Nutripeck"  for £6.99 it has a paper label attached with all the nutritional information on it.  It checked out as the same as "Farmgate" which I think locally is over £9.00.  Probably cheaper due to lower transport costs and not paying for a more well known brand.
