I love ...'matresses or duvets'....lol ..... I love it!!<br /><br />I had to buy a couple of bags of Layers Mash once, when the farm shop had no pellets, but it doesn't work so well in our big hoppers. It tends to get damp much quicker, although the birds thought it was great.<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-61342694922397798142012-10-22T10:43:32.888+01:002012-10-22T10:43:32.888+01:00our girls prefer not to roost on the bar in their ...our girls prefer not to roost on the bar in their house at night, but all pile into the little nesting boxes and sleep "double decker". <br />I'm not sure if the higher pecking order are the mattresses or the duvets!<br /><br />I've started using layers mash instead of pellets which would be a faff for you with so many, but I found there was less waste and it allows me to mix in some leftovers.<br /><br />Wishing you a good week ahead Sue<br />xted and bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420272135724099182noreply@blogger.com
