Any other chicken keepers out there having problems getting hold of this? confused

Been surfing and everywhere seems to be out of stock.

We had some but I chucked it out after all our chickens got foxed. Otherwise, could have sent it to you, jodi. Pity about that. We got ours via a vet. Can you do that?

Jodi Thu 01-Nov-12 09:08:47

Pity and thanks for the thought. Sorry about your chucks sad
Will have to try vet I expect but can only get it there if I take a chicken in first and that's talking real money. hmm

We got some without having a sick chicken. I'll ask DH how he did it.

Bags Thu 01-Nov-12 10:38:28

Oh wait! I just checked! I didn't throw it out. Do you want it? It's from 2006. pm me your address if you do and I'll send it. Powerful stuff; you'll only need the tiniest pinch mixed in a few days' food.

bags sorry not to get back to you but was chasing up another possible supply. Thank you so much but have managed to get some from DiL's friend's mother!! As you say you only need about 1g to 1kg or so, anyway I've enough to do them all this time round.
Thank you again smile

That's OK, jodi. Been out till now. Glad you've got hold of some.

bags OH looking after chuckies hmm ..actually just thinking about it and the weather report he sent me made me chuckle and think of the conditions at the bottom of our land. The Simon and Garfunkel song 'Slip, Sliding Away' came to mind wink

When I saw the title of the thread I thought it was some sort of expletive....grin

Talking of weather report and chickens - did anybody hear the Chicken Forecast the other week on Radio 4?

Jodi Sun 04-Nov-12 13:36:51

No, tell all?

Just noticed their small tub is out of stock as well. The one in stock costs a fortune. shock

And it would last my small flock of seven for a thousand years! I've managed to borrow sufficient for the next couple of months thanks merlot
