Chickens:Cheapest Layers Pellets : Feed, Grain etc

hi , does anyone know where to buy layers pellets in the north east in bulk. thank you

I pay £12 a month for a 20 bag from pets at home. I have searched the internet and found £7..£8 but then postage on them pushes it up to (and sometimes over) the £12 mark anyway!! I haven't found any local suppliers either which sell at a decent cost.

I have four ex-commercial hens and they have one measuring jugs worth of pellets every morning then they get bits and bobs when I have spare - such as peas, sweetcorn, mash potato, scrambled egg ect ect. I have tried apples with them but they aren't fussed, they do enjoy berries though! They'll be spoilt little things once my plants start coming in to fruit

p.s. mine aren't free range. They spend most of their time in the pen then have time in the garden a few times a week when I'm around to watch them.

I've just joined this forum after reading some of your comments, I have quite a few geese and chickens and also some ducks, after been on shutdown since December its cost me an absolute fortune in feed which got me think about buying bulk. I'm talking tonne bags at a time. Has anyone done this because searching online brings up blanks. Even 4 tonne at a time I don't mind as long as it knocks the £8 a bag price out the water. My friends have cows and they pay £150 a tonne with all additives in do what makes chicken food so expensive? It's because the general man or woman can have them and start been self sufficient and god help anyone for trying that. If anyone has any contacts or a link I would be grateful.
