    Used to be nowt, until our friend changed his job at the feed mill! (split, short-date bags etc.) :(

    Yes, that at mv, but also, i found ours did brilliantly over winter on expensive ex batt pellets.

    My chickens do not get fat, howver good my worming regime, however much i feed. It upsets me. I think its because they do exercise A LOT but, i want nice fat chickens. :A


    In fact, i would like to buy by the pallet now we have rid the rats if i could pull down the price of a better quality pellet.

    Sorted, rang a local wholesaler, who wasn't willing to sell me small amounts, but said he supplied a local farmer by the pallet load. I know him to nod to and he lives less than half a mile from my house, so been to see him and he's kindly agreed to sell me a 20kg bag at a time.
    Not sure about the price yet, but it means I don't have to drive very far to get them either.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Hope it will be hopeful news at the vet. :)

    Blah day here too. Mr Dog often clears off on Fridays, so the dogs kick-off, being caged-up all day. Still, it proves he's doing something to keep 'em quiet when he is here!

    Yeah, all went ok. Not sure what is making her sneeze, probably something like a blade of grass in her nose.....she has no temp or anything though so vet said to leave it and see what happens for a while.
