Cheers, FFM Phone me at Country Keeper 07860827318 Supply no problem but would be better if a tonne was ordered as transport costs start to creep up regards Kit P.S define cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy111 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) B.A.T.A. at Malton, £159 for 1/2 ton(20 bags). This with Avatec medication included, so you'll need a Vets prescription. Don't know if there is an agent near you, but give em a ring...............01653 605200 You'll also need Poult pellets when they get to about 10 weeks, then at 12 weeks start to mix with wheat and split maize (If obtainable) , eventually weaning them onto full wheat. Also plenty of growers grit near the feeders. Edited August 28, 2010 by wy111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfisherman Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Cheers guys, cheap would be anything less than £8 a bag. i can pick them up if its local ish.. they have been on pellets and are now 10 weeks old in one pen and 8 weeks old in the other.. Were hopper feeding them with springs so im not too keen on using split maize as i dont think it will dispense properly.. What do you think?

wy111 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sorry for late reply. Split maize? Just depends how fine it is, through springfeeders. Hard to get round here unless at stupid prices, although I mentioned it, but is definately better imo for holding birds. It is better through letterbox feeders. Just ordered some Poult pellets from BATA, £136/ 1/2 ton. I only got 400 poults this year, rest have been ex-layers again and doing very well, again, contradictory to some pundits.

Kit Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 If they are on pellets Wheat would be best Weget best results if at 12/13 weeks dependant on growth we cut the pellets with wheat 25% at 12/13weeks 50% at 13/14 weeks 755% at 14/15 week etc Check birds are sti;ll taking feed and put a toniv in the water at the same time Keep up the grit intake Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
