Hello and welcome to The Compost Bin. I'm Compostwoman and I live with my family in rural Herefordshire. We have nearly four acres of garden and woodland, all managed organically and to Permaculture principles, which we share with Chickens, Cats and assorted wildlife. We also grow a lot of our own food, run courses in all sorts of things and make a lot of compost!

I am a Master Composter and have spent more than a decade as a volunteer Community Compost adviser with Garden Organic and my local Council.
I'm a self employed Environmental Educator so I run workshops and events where I talk about compost, veg growing, chicken keeping, cooking, preserving and sustainable living. I also run crafts workshops and Forest School/outdoor play sessions in our wood.

We try to live a more self sufficient lifestyle here, as best we can, while still having a comfortable life and lots of fun.

Giveaway! Wells chicken feeders and drinkers review


Unfortunately rain prevented the patio works but look what turned up today:)


Some new feeders and a drinker for me to review from Wells Poultry



Easy to put together and with a clever locking tab and slot mechanism to make sure they stay put together.





The indoor feeder I have been sent holds 3 kg of food, plenty to keep the Ginger gang and the Young ones happy. 


The drinker I have been sent is a good size - 3 l and again has the locking mechanism. The hens seemed to enjoy drinking from it.


But the best thing in the box from my point of view is this  2.5 kg Delux Plastic Outdoor Feeder



Slotted together really easily, feet lift it off the ground and UFO style roof looks to keep the food dry
 


The hens loved it and after leaving it out overnight in the rain, the food was absolutely dry the next morning :)





Excellent product , comes apart for cleaning really easily and does what it says it will   :)



And even better - I have three of the 2.5 kg Delux Plastic Outdoor Feeders to giveaway! Just leave a comment on the blog or on the Facebook feed and you will be entered into a draw to win one of these excellent feeders from Wells Poultry
