just nee to ask those of you that use chicken pellets how do you rate them and what veg plants  do you use your chicken pellets on I ask this question because its the first time I've used chicken pellets I usually use other brands of granular fertilizer

Cabbages etc love them. I use them on most things and get good results.
I don't spread them all around the plot but a little around each plant once the plants are well past seedling stage.
The results are comparable to grow more.

I use them on everything I grow. Like Alan I'd say it's on par with Growmore but more smelly!

They are quite high in nitrogen so wouldn't be of best use for flowering / fruiting plants once they have reached that stage. Leafy plants will like it, including onions as well as brassicas.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I use them to perk up soil that needs a boost.
Also use them effectively as an alternative to growmore as plot 1 says.
And yes they are smelly!
Keep digging

I use BFB then Vitax Q4 for summer feeding. Am going to use 6X for my leeks.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
