Chicken Pellets

[JOHN BISHOP]

Hi have been useing pellets for some time, are they organic? or just growmore in disguise?

The stuff sold by Rooster is Soil Association certified organically produced.

Lots of others are just 'organic' ie their contents are organic, but not necessarily organically produced. So in the case of chicken manure I presume you don't know if the stuff comes from battery farms?

Rooster is the only Soil Association Certified product of its type, setting it aside from the increasing influx of imitation products, mostly imported from the continent and derived from battery hen manure.

Good point Smallblueplanet, would they not have to state how they were made these days? if it was made from battery farm hens, I think I would have to think again.

I imagine they can just say its from chickens and made of organic material!

You can buy the Rooster stuff direct via their website. We bought 14kg (£14ish) and it lasts a fair while (2+ years) if you're using it as a 'top up'.

Actually we might have got ours from Tamar Organics. But they don't seem to stock the 14kg so maybe it was direct!

I've seen it stocked in garden centres too - give Rooster a ring they should be able to tell you if there's any outlets near you.

I wouldn't be at all happy using the stuff from battery hens.
