Product Information

Full details

The Natures Grub Pecking Block is an ideal enrichment tool for backyard chicken keepers looking to improve flock welfare and reduce boredom. This 330g block provides a nutritious blend of essential ingredients that support immune health and digestion while satisfying the natural instinct of birds to peck and forage. While it serves as an excellent boredom-buster, it should be treated as a supplemental treat rather than a replacement for a balanced, high-quality layer feed.

FAQs

Can this block be fed to other types of poultry?

While designed for chickens, it is generally safe for other backyard fowl, but ensure it complements their specific dietary needs.

How often should I provide a pecking block?

It is recommended to provide the block as an occasional treat to keep them engaged, rather than keeping one in the coop 24/7.

Does the block contain any artificial additives?

No, it is made from high-quality natural ingredients including grains, grit, and herbs.

Can I leave the block outside in the rain?

No, the block should be kept under cover to prevent it from getting wet and disintegrating.

Is the grit size suitable for all chickens?

The grit is appropriately sized for adult birds to assist in the grinding of food within the gizzard.

Troubleshooting

Chickens are ignoring the block

Try repositioning the block to a more visible, well-lit area or lower it slightly to make it more accessible.

The block is crumbling prematurely

Check to ensure the block is not hanging in a damp area or directly beneath a dripping roof line; moisture will weaken the structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces coop boredom and stress-related pecking
  • Contains beneficial herbs and seaweed for immune support
  • Easy to install with the included hanging mechanism
  • Promotes natural foraging and pecking habits

Cons

  • Not a complete nutritional diet and should be fed in moderation
  • May disappear quickly if the flock is particularly active or large
  • Must be kept dry to prevent premature degradation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply use the provided hook to attach the block to a sturdy point in your coop or covered run. It is best to hang the block away from direct sources of moisture or heavy rain, as excessive water will cause the block to crumble or mold. Periodically check the hanging attachment for wear to ensure it remains secure. If you have a small flock, consider removing the block after a few hours of activity to prolong its life. Always monitor your birds when introducing a new treat to ensure they are interacting with it safely.
