If you mean Bearts Ollie, a chap who had some table chicks and turkey poults off us was really pleased with his feed from them.  His birds actually weighed out more than ours.

Have you just tried them out?  Perhaps its because you changed their food over.  It takes a while for chooks to get used to new feed.

We are just trying Bearts chick crumb and grower and finisher.  Will let you know how we get on!

I had a call from a lady this afternoon who had 20 of our first Amberlinks 3 years ago, and from her chickens now, (obviously she has more than 20!) she is getting 60-70 eggs per day and they all get fed Bearts layers pellets!

So can't be that bad!

Ahh I see maybe they just don't like my coop they should do it cost a arm and a leg .
Getting new coop in next few weeks it's 6 foot by 4 foot.  And 4 foot high  . It's quiet nice I have a bloke that makes coops near me and when I get my new coop only costing me 120 pound the coop I have at the min is 40 foot by 12 foot . And has 40 nest boxes  and 12 pearches at 10 foot long each .
The bloke made that for me as well . But I also use it for them in winter so there inside a lot I only have 40 odd chickens and to be fair only 4 of them are brown hens ISA  the rest are west Norfolk wonkeys as I call them .  There cross breeds and there's some realy nice colours and 1 has 6 toes ???  There's crosses from orpingtons silky.barne velders.--- Pekins -old English game- Indian phesant foul .

I should think its more likely to be they don't like the change in feed.  When did you switch them onto Bearts feed?  Perhaps it would be a good idea to mix the 2 feeds and don't give them any treats for a while?  Hungry hens WILL eat!   :D :D

And if money is a bit short, don't bother giving them expensive stuff like organic.

They have been on layers from beeats for a good year or so just egg laying seems to be low this morning I had 3 eggs off all my birds ??? Not good . The sign had to come down ( eggs for sale ) I had misses right knock on the door at 9 o'clock saying well when wil you have some as I'm low .... Lol felt like saying ( well il ask them when I next talk to the chickens)  she's a verry strange woman but she likes her eggs she buys 6 off me every day .  At 9 o'clock every morning she's round . 

Had the little * rob me yesterday  took the money pot off the stand and kicked the egg table over little *. I see them do it there about 12 years old and can run 5 times faster than a dad of 3 lol not quiet as quick as I was when I was younger lol .
