Chickabee Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 This is what it is :- Healthy boredom breakers for hens Halleys Hen Blox are an innovative way of keeping your chickens healthy and happy. Each 1.25kg Hen Blox is packed full of feedstuffs that promote poultry health: alfalfa (Lucerne), wheat, split maize, oyster shell grit and flint grit. Nutritious distractor for chickens to help prevent feather pecking. Hens love to peck – which is, of course, fine as long as they’re not pecking each other… The problem is that when hens get bored, pecking each other is precisely what they often do. So how can you, as a caring flock owner, deter your chickens from this antisocial habit? Simple! By giving them something much more interesting to peck at... The light sussex bantam was given to me. She's lovely such a character, she's just come back into lay. She makes so much noise. She spent about an hour telling everyone she was going to lay an egg even before she'd started .She is very good looking (thank you), but I've never shown any of my birds and wouldn't know where to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The Hen Blox look good and seem quite natural but the postage makes them very expensive if you just buy one. It would be a shame if they didn't actually like it. Do your girls definitely like them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Mine love them. I got a box of 10. It doesn't work out that expensive then, but I do have a lot of hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
