"My chickens have been working on this block since I hung it up. One more item to prevent boredom. I also have the pumpkin block hanging and they are eating that one as well. Block are compressed so they don’t fall apart but break apart nicely when chickens are pecking at it. - Sherry"

β€” Richy

"I placed it in the coop and the chickens pay no interest to it. I’ve moved it around and they just don’t seem to care at all for it. It wasn’t cheap so I’m leaving it there hoping one day they peck at it but they haven’t and it’s been three weeks today and still nothing. Maybe my chicken..."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a supplement to keep your chickens entertained, this block is a good option. Just be aware of the durability issues and the possibility that your chickens might not be interested in it.
