Leghorn

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I bought my first Flock Block today and it fell apart while I was unwrapping it!!! Now it's sitting in a 5 gallon bucket in the building, probably attracting mice and other undesirables!!!! I was so annoyed I wanted to scream!! Now I guess I will be using it in place of scratch for a while!

I LOVE my chickens!!!

5 Marans, 4 Sexlinks, 1 Dominiques, 1 Buff, 1 Ameraucana, 1 Game, 8 mixed babies, and 1 who knows what blue, 5 geese, and the neighbors turkey in my woods..... haha~!!!!

I would but it was cheaper than the ones at Tractor Supply by a LOT, and they will eat it just the same, it's just not going to serve the purpose of a distraction from pestering the little girl (whom I named Genie, short for Genius).

Newbie here, I'm curious if you can also treat them with the bird suet blocks for wild birds.

Tried the flock block for the 1st time 3 weeks ago. They MUST love it as it's gone! Now that I know just how much they like it I can give it as an occasional treat.
