Meeting the natural needs of poultry is becoming a bigger challenge in modern poultry farming. More and more, materials that keep birds busy are needed in egg production, mainly to satisfy their natural pecking instincts. The PECKStone is a feed-quality mineral block designed to encourage natural poultry behaviour.
Besides keeping the birds actively engaged, PECKStones help with natural beak wear and offer a chance for individual extra mineral intake, which is known to have a positive effect on their behaviour.
For commercial layers we recommend the use of the Hard version for younger birds from as soon as they arrive on the layer farm and then moving to Extra Hard as the birds are older, for best results ensure you use the correct hardness to promote enough consumption (therefore using Hard in the early period) and also to ensure they do not over consume (hence moving onto Extra Hard).

PECKStone - Hard - Yellow Tub - 10kg FAQs
What is Peckstone and why is it used?
Peckstone is a compact mineral block created for poultry to peck at instinctively, which helps decrease feather pecking and stress while providing vital minerals such as calcium, sodium, and trace elements.
What advantages does Peckstone offer for the health and well-being of poultry?
It encourages natural pecking actions, lessens aggression, helps maintain beak health, and supplies minerals that contribute to stronger bones and better eggshell quality.
How should Peckstone be placed in the poultry house?
Usually set at bird height on a steady spot or attached to a stand so birds can reach it without trouble. Make sure to keep it away from wet places to stop it from getting soggy.
How many PECKStones do I need?
Use one per 500 to 800 birds if you are trying to control pecking behavior, or one er 1,000 birds for improving bird welfare.
What minerals and additives are included in Peckstone?
The majority consist of calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, magnesium, and small amounts of minerals. Certain types also have added vitamins or grit to aid digestion.
