Zoo Med Chicken Banquet Mineral Block

Overview

Zoo Med’s Chicken Banquet® Mineral Block is specially formulated for backyard laying hens. Made with a solid calcium base, this block helps promote strong bones and supports healthy egg production. It also contains dried mealworms along with a nutritious blend of grains and seeds—corn, milo, wheat, and sunflower seeds—providing both enrichment and natural pecking activity. In addition to meeting calcium needs, this block encourages natural behaviors and may help reduce aggression in flocks by offering a safe alternative pecking target for dominant hens.
