Why do you need to go shopping - your neighbors all seem to be farmers, one has a herd of 200 deer, another keeps chickens and goats and doesn't eat the chicken eggs.
He doesn't live near a loo roll maker.

Pellets of food with complete nutritional needs for a chicken that is laying.

If he's been neglecting it all make sure the pellets aren't mouldy or you'll have dead chickens or eggs that give you the shits or maybe both and if the pellets crumble easily they're knackered.
Butter will give them energy and fatten them up a bit avoid bread as it bungs them up and they'll stop laying.
Hang a melon up give them frozen or tinned peas.
Make buttery mashed potatoes and mashed carrot for them.
They'll eat almost anything.
Bacon rind sausages dog food.

Yesterday I loaded a Tranny with logs ready for splitting and sent it to the old boy with instructions to the driver NOT to get out of the cab, just tip logs in barn where he will see a few on the floor and scarper, he tipped them, the old boy offud him a tenner sparrow and he took it, TWACK, but that is human nature spose, speechless.
As I drove by the old boys earlier I seen him crossing his yard, he thanked me, said he had not been to bed but stayed up using his NEW log splitter I had made for him , he was just going to bed 9.30am.
He said he has a surprise to show me but I would not alight, dunno what, he just kept laffin as he walked away.
The Tranny has been sprayed in the cab with some concoction given to me by a farmer, dunno if it works or not.

I hope you made sure the logs complied with the new Proposal and legislation to be enforced within the near future
Certain types of woods/coals are going to be phased out and banned .
