PECKAWAY™ GRIT STONES, HELPING YOUR BIRDS BE MORE NEIGHBORLY!

PeckAway™ gRIT STONE is made up of materials that are natural and safe for birds to consume. The primary ingredients are grit, salt, calcium and peas. The birds find flavor and enjoyment in working to break up the stones over time.


Breaking up the Peckaway™ grit stones and placing them in the feed pans throughout the barn is a great ALTERNATIVE to using heavy and messy granular grit products. Only one application is required!


What We Do

WHAT IS PECKAWAY™ GRIT STONE

PeckAway™ Grit Stone is a 12-lb donut-shaped stone composed mainly of sand/grit designed to be safely pecked by turkeys to help divert the instinctive behaviors of feather, head and litter pecking.

These instinctive behaviors reduce feed conversion efficiency, and once skin is exposed, the victimized bird will soon be attacked and cannibalism may increase throughout the flock. Litter pecking can lead to ingestion of pathogenic illnesses.

The product is dispersed throughout the house in areas where birds freely roam, providing a rewarding flavor that can be accessed.

PeckAway™ Grit Stones need to be conveniently displayed for the turkey to have access at will. In the brood simply place whole PeckAway™ Grit stones on a plastic lid or base from an old feeder as pictured below. In the finishing barn place PeckAway Grit stones in old feed pan and hang them from the ceiling or break them up into small pieces (1/8 to 1/4 size) and distribute evenly in the main feed pans throughout the barn. Distribute at a minimum 1 stone per 1,000 turkeys in the finisher and 1 to 2,500 in the brood.

What our customers say

"We introduced PeckAway primarily to replace the application of grit. We broke up the PeckAway stones into one- to two-pound pieces and distributed them evenly in the feeders throughout the turkey house. The stones lasted through the end of the flock and the gizzards consistently contained the grit/sand from the PeckAway stones. The result: The best flock we ever had!"

HANDY APPLICATION WITH A REGULAR BUCKET

Directions

Distribute one PeckAway stone in a hanging bucket or turkey feeder every 1,500 to 3,000 square feet, depending on the nature and challenge of your operation.

The stones can be placed on the floor throughout the brood house, on a feed pan base or use a bucket as pictured. (bucket not included) 

HOW TO PREP A BUCKET TO SIZE:

Stone size: 9" width x 3.5" height, Weight: 12 pounds

Step 1: Use a new or clean bucket (with a lid) that allows room for the stone.

Step 2: Cut two rectangular shapes approximately 2.5" from the bottom of the bucket. Dimensions: 10" wide x 4" high (this allows introduction of a new stone without removing the lid)
