Marriages pellets with flubenvet. Free to good home

[ChrisandClare]

Hello all

Our girls have just come to the end of their week on the pellets and we have about 3kg left so prob about enough for to treat 3-4 chickens.

If anybody could make use of it and is close to Northwich, Cheshire drop me a line.

Otherwise it will be going in the bin as it has use by date at start of September

That is such a shame.. I am sorry that I can't help but I really think it is time that companies started selling smaller bags even if you have to pay slightly more as it is so convenient..
Many a time it has been mentioned on here about the short life .
I gave up on the pellets and now use the powder which is mixed with their treats or food.It make seems exspensive but with only 4 chickens it lasts a year at least .

Couldn't agree more jackie

Came in a 10kg bag. Gave half of it away in exchange for some grit and corn to a friend in work and still have loads left!

Our girls eat none stop but even they would struggle to demolish 10kg in a week!

Eldest daughters solution was let's get some more chickens!

I think they should come in smaller bags too. We only have 2 hens and I just wormed them last week. I know it's not that difficult to mix up the flubenvet powder with the pellets but I always spend ages doing it as I worry I'm not getting it mixed in enough

See you in about an hour.

Thanks. As soon as the hopper is empty I'll start using it.

I get Flub pellets from Happychicks. They do sell a 5kg tub that is just right for a smaller flock.

Spoke to an advisor last time i bought mine on line ,asked about keeping what was left for a 3 month period ,was told to put in an airtight container to keep dry in 3 months time would still be 95% affective .With my 5 hens had about 5 kg left so just enough to use again in 3 months time .

[ChrisandClare]

Thanks for the top tips on both the availability of the 5kg and also the fact they can actually be stored and used again

Both tips should make it a little more cost effective in 3 months time as definitely sticking to the pellets as the girls happily ate them with no issues at all.
