Product Information
Full details
The Feldy Chicken Treat Seed Block is a 1kg nutrient-dense supplement designed for backyard chicken keepers looking to provide their flock with both mental stimulation and essential dietary enrichment. This high-energy snack helps curb boredom and discourages feather pecking, making it an excellent addition to a standard layer feed regimen; however, it should be treated as a supplement rather than a primary food source to ensure a balanced diet.

FAQs
Can I feed this to other poultry like ducks or geese?
While formulated specifically for chickens, the ingredients are generally safe for other poultry, though their dietary requirements may differ.
How long does a 1kg block typically last?
Longevity depends on flock size and the level of activity, but for an average backyard flock, it can last several days to a week.
Is this block suitable for chicks?
It is intended for adult chickens. Chicks have specific dietary requirements and may struggle with the texture of the block.
Does it contain any artificial binders?
No, the Feldy Pecking Block is free from artificial binders and fillers.
Should I provide grit when feeding this block?
Yes, always ensure your flock has access to appropriate poultry grit to help them digest the seeds and peas effectively.
Troubleshooting
The block is crumbling too quickly
Ensure the block is not exposed to standing water or extreme humidity; move it to a covered, dry location.
Chickens are not interested in the block
Chickens may be cautious of new items. Try placing it near their usual feeding station or breaking off a small piece to encourage them to sample the ingredients.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the block, you can leave it within its sturdy base tub to sit directly on the ground, which is ideal for cleaner coop floors. Alternatively, remove it from the tub to suspend it at 'peck height' using a feeder or net to keep it clean and increase the challenge for the birds. Store the block in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the binders. Avoid placing the block in deep mud, as this will accelerate degradation and create unnecessary waste. Always ensure the flock has access to fresh water nearby to aid in digestion.
