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 after 20+- weeks. Layer Grit is for all laying hens. Broilers should switch directly from the Chick Grit to the Layer Grit at 4 weeks of age
Offer Layer Grit either free choice in a separate dish or tossing on the ground in their coop
Better Nutrition: Using the appropriately sized grit allows for the maximum nutrient benefit from whole grain chicken feed. Feed to developing pullets and full-grown hens and roosters at approximately 20 weeks of age
Promote Healthy Habits: In the wild, the chickens 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
