Hi there ! I am a Brit but I now live in Italy with my OH, our ducks, geese and a even a wild boar piglet we bought our KC ducks over from Oxfordshire via the Eurotunnel. Found out since you are not supposed to do that...... ducks don't mind, Eurotunnel do....

hello @HalfWayUpAMountain - welcome to the UK thread of BYC
I think it's not just Eurotunnel - there are regs about importing animals into any country!
Anyway, it's done now so if you keep mum hopefully the powers that be will not notice...

Hello, I used to live in Ontario, moved to the Scottish Highlands last year. We just added chickens, ducks and geese to our croft and I am having the hardest time finding layer mash that I can ferment (really don't like fermenting the pellets). I did find layer mash on the Marriages feed website, but our local Harbro won't order from them, because "their own brand feed is much better". I have contacted the Harbro stores in Inverness, Fort William, Glasgow and Edinburgh and none of them keep Marriages feed in stock and they need at least 1 week lead time to order, but unfortunately our infrequent trips to town are mostly short notice.
So ... Does anybody know of a feed mill/feed store in the Highlands that produces or sells non GMO layer mash? TIA

hello @RisingMoonFarm - welcome to BYC UK thread
have you tried contacting Marriages direct, either to send some to you or to list local suppliers? Some breeders sometimes act in that capacity as a little earner on the side.

Thank you for the welcome! No, I haven't talked to them directly, just some of the online retailers they list on their website. None of them ships to the Highlands. I will see on Monday.
