It's like a big block of seeds, minerals and all that kind of stuff that you can set out for your chickens to peck at. Mine really liked it. Alot of the feed stores sell them. It is about the same sized as one of those mineral blocks for goats or cattle. I had the block out in my yard, and for the longest time, I couldn't figure out what that nasty smell was, cause I would only smell something when the wind would blow just right. Once I figured out that it was the Flock Block, I decided to put it in another location and let the wild birds eat it. I also noticed that my girls were eating it more than their balanced layer feed, which I didn't like, so between that and the smell, I haven't got one again. The wild birds sure loved me though!
