Last year's Flock Block - Keep or Throw Away?

[britinpa]

I bought a large flock block for my chickens last year and they just about ate the outside layer. There is a huge chunk that I have kept in my garage covered with a bag. Would it be okay for them this year or would you throw it in the trash.

I'd throw it out. I'm not a fan of them to begin with. Any nutrition it had is likely gone.

Meh, I would give it to them... they won't eat it if it's bad.
Give it a smell, if it smells Rancid then maybe not.

... chickens eat all sorts of gross things in the ground, old feed or seeds I don't see an issue.
Fat Grubs..... grosss, but hey they like them

Don't waste it. Give it a try. They won't eat it if they don't want it

I vote toss it!

Toss it!

So what did you do ?

So what did you do ?

It's still in the garage. I'm thinking of chiselling off the outside today and tossing that, then putting out the middle part into their run. It's so cold out here (10F this morning), so I wanted to give them something to occupy them.
