Hi Loripo Thanks for the birthday wishes, I hope yours was a good one. I have not been in here for a long time, busy with other things but will call in from time to time. take care Phoebe
Hi Phoebe - my daughter it was that has the chooks. She is doing what you suggested and the birds seem to be gathering, so word is getting around:) Has also just picked up a load of bark chippings for the chickens themselves as they were getting reluctant to leave their house, because of the cold and wet. I've just sent her some bits off the 'Fat ball' thread with some more ideas. She is a fan of Frugal Living, so all good ideas are welcome.

I tried a thread but it's so busy it's now way down the page. As you keep chooks maybe you will know, Can you feed Layers pellets to wild birds? My daughter has Arcunas and has been putting the unused pellets on the compost, but wondered if a little mixed with seed would be OK for tits, robins etc.
