The message
from Howard Neil contains these words:

The mash was made from cooked potato/vegetable peelings, dry breadcrumbs
and balancer meal, and IIRC, dried blood, though that might have been
for the garden. Can't remember.

I now have a better idea of what you are referring to.

There are two foods which are made to help balance the diet of laying
hens. One is layers mash (which is the one I think you are referring to)
and the other is layers pellets.

I know about layers' mash and pellets - but balancer meal was very high
in fishmeal, and you didn't use much of it in a mash.

If I had broadband I could attach a few sacks of layers' mash for you as
we have it here in East Angular......
