Hayleybug Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi all, i've bought some of these as they are only £1 each and was thinking of giving them to the chooks. when i looked at the ingredients it said they are stuck together with 'edible glue', and i'm not sure whether thats safe for chooks? presuming that if they are ok for little blue tits then they are probably ok for chooks but would appreciate knowing if anyone else has any knowledge/experience of these? thanks!

Beantree Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 No idea Hayleybug, but not something I would risk. Just scatter a small amount of mixed corn for them, which in a 20Kg bag will work out far cheaper anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayleybug Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 thanks i think youre right. they do get corn as a treat anyway, but i like to give them something to peck at to prevent boredom. i'll just buy one of the usual peck blocks instead to be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Home made edible glue for bird seed feeding blocks is just flour, water, corn syrup/gelatine. Not sure what is in commercial made blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I was given these Hentastic Chick Sticks & Feeder to try a couple years ago which I guess is a similar idea. We still have the holders but not bought replacement blocks for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'd rather just string up a few greens, slightly out of reach; that will keep them occupied for a bit, and is far healthier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
