Storage: Keep unused blocks in their packaging in a cool, dry place. Use within 3 months of opening for best freshness.

The larger 400g size means longer-lasting entertainment compared to standard pecking blocks.

Ingredients

Ingredients

Wheat Flour, Vegetable Fat, Mixed Seeds, Calcium Powder, Peanut Butter, Seaweed, Parsley, Oregano, Spearmint, Spirulina Powder, Garlic Powder

What Each Ingredient Does

Wheat Flour
Forms the structural base of the hanging block, providing carbohydrates for energy. The British-sourced flour creates the perfect firm texture that holds together when hanging while still being satisfying to peck.

Vegetable Fat
Binds ingredients together into a solid hanging block while providing essential fatty acids for healthy feathers, skin, and overall energy. Creates the ideal consistency for outdoor hanging use.

Mixed Seeds
A nutritious blend providing protein, healthy fats, omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Seeds add textural variety that keeps chickens engaged and pecking for extended periods.

Calcium Powder
Essential mineral for strong bones and quality eggshell formation in laying hens. Particularly important for layers to maintain skeletal health and consistent egg production.

Peanut Butter
High in protein and healthy fats, peanut butter makes this block irresistibly aromatic and tasty. The sticky texture helps bind ingredients while supporting muscle development and energy levels.

Seaweed
Natural source of iodine and trace minerals that supports thyroid function, metabolic health, and overall vitality. Provides natural umami flavour that enhances palatability.

Parsley
Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus minerals including iron and calcium. Supports blood health, immune function, and provides natural antioxidants for overall wellness.

Oregano
Contains powerful natural antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds. Supports digestive health, immune function, and may help maintain healthy gut flora to prevent intestinal issues.

Spearmint
Aids digestion and adds appealing natural flavour. The aromatic properties enhance palatability while providing mild antimicrobial benefits that support digestive hygiene.

Spirulina Powder
A nutrient-dense superfood packed with protein (up to 70%), vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Supports immune function, overall health, and provides additional protein for feather quality and muscle development.

Garlic Powder
Natural antimicrobial and immune system booster. May help support respiratory health and act as a natural internal parasite deterrent. Safe and highly beneficial for chickens in appropriate amounts.

FAQ's

How long does one Hanging Forage Feast last?
One 400g block typically lasts 5-7 days for a flock of 4-6 chickens, depending on how enthusiastically they peck at it. Larger flocks will work through it faster, while smaller flocks may take longer.

How high should I hang it?
Hang the block approximately 15-20cm (6-8 inches) from the ground so chickens can reach it comfortably while standing. This height encourages natural pecking behaviour without making them strain or jump excessively.

Is the coconut hanger safe for chickens?
Yes! The natural coconut hanger is completely safe and actually provides additional enrichment. Some chickens enjoy pecking at the coconut material itself, which is harmless and biodegradable.

Can I reuse the coconut hanger?
While the coconut hanger is designed for single use with each block, if it remains intact after the block is finished, you can certainly reuse it with other treats or homemade blocks if desired.

Will this help stop feather pecking?
Yes, this can significantly help reduce boredom-related feather pecking. By providing mental stimulation and redirecting natural pecking behaviour toward the block, chickens are less likely to peck at each other. However, persistent feather pecking may have other causes like overcrowding or nutritional deficiencies.

Can this get wet if hung outside?
While the block can tolerate some moisture, it's best hung in a covered area of your run or coop to maintain freshness and prevent it from becoming too soft. Excessive rain may cause it to deteriorate faster.

Will this attract wild birds or pests?
The block may attract wild birds during the day. If this concerns you, position it inside your covered run. Like all chicken treats, remove it at dusk to avoid attracting rodents overnight, though the hanging design makes it less accessible to ground pests.

My chickens have never had a hanging treat. Will they know what to do?
Most chickens instinctively peck at interesting objects. If your flock seems hesitant, gently tap the block to show it moves, or break off a small piece and offer it by hand. Once one hen investigates, others typically follow quickly.

Can I hang multiple blocks for a large flock?
Absolutely! For flocks larger than 8-10 chickens, we recommend hanging 2-3 blocks in different locations to prevent dominant birds from guarding the treat and ensure all flock members get access.

Is this suitable for bantams?
Yes! Bantams love these blocks just as much as large fowl. They may take slightly longer to work through the block, but the hanging height can be adjusted to suit smaller breeds.

Can I give this to chicks?
This product is formulated for adult chickens (over 16 weeks old). Young chicks should focus on chick starter feed for proper development. The block's density and ingredients are best suited for mature birds.

What do I do when the block gets too small?
Once the block becomes too small to hang safely (about 2-3cm), you can crumble the remainder and sprinkle it over their regular feed so nothing goes to waste.

Will the herbs affect egg taste?
No, the small amount of herbs in this treat will not affect the taste of your eggs. The herbs are included in amounts that support health without transferring flavours to eggs.
