  • Necessary For Digestion: Made up of insoluble crushed quartzite or granite, grit remains in the bird's gizzard to help with digestion. Grit is an essential part of your bird's diet and should always be provided
  • Age to Give: Start day 1 through 8 weeks of age. Broiler chicks from day 1 to 4 weeks. This helps establish correct feeding habits by sprinkling grit over their feed mash for the first week and then offer it free choice in a separate container
  • We recommend you transition to our Grower Grit from 8 weeks to 20 weeks
  • Better Nutrition: Using the appropriately sized grit allows for the maximum nutrient benefit from whole grain chicken feed. Use Chick Grit in conjunction with our Chick Starter Feed to provide your poultry with optimal nutrition from day one
  • Promote Healthy Habits: In the wild, the chicks will go out and get the grit themselves, their mother will teach them to pick up little stones and they'll naturally gravitate towards picking up these little stones
  • Size: 7 pound Bag
  • Ingredients: Insoluble Crushed Quartzite and/or Granite
