## Description

desertcart.com : Scratch and Peck Starter Grit Supplement for Chickens and Ducks - 7 lbs Bag - Essential Supplement for Gizzard and Digestive Health - Sustainably Sourced : Pet Supplies

Review: Grit for most sizes of chickens - I recently tried Scratch and Peck Feeds Cluckin' Good Layer Grit for my backyard flock of chickens. This product offers a great solution for supplementing the dietary needs of my laying hens. I appreciate that Scratch and Peck Feeds uses all-natural and organic ingredients in their products. Knowing that my chickens are consuming a high-quality, non-GMO grit gives me peace of mind. I noticed that my chickens eagerly consumed the grit, which suggests that it is both palatable and beneficial to them. I appreciate the different size options available, which cater to various breeds and sizes of poultry. The texture of the grit is just right, allowing my chickens to easily pick and consume it. There are some larger sized pieces of granite in this bag which my chickens do not consume. If you bantom chickens I would check another source for smaller sizes.
Review: Perfect Sized Grit for Growing Chicks! - I needed a small-sized grit that didn't contain any extra ingredients like crushed oyster shells for my 8 week old chicks since they are not laying eggs yet and don't need the extra calcium for egg production. This fit the bill perfectly. It is small enough for them to peck at, but not too fine that it is powder, and not too large that it does no good for their digestion. Speaking of which, if your chicks have runny poops, then you need to put them on this grit. Guarantee to firm up their poop in no time. My local feed stores have been out of stock (back ordered) of this type poultry grit for almost 2 months now. I shopped around online for poultry grit from other manufacturers, and this was by far, the best deal around here on desertcart. I also highly recommend their brand of Scratch and Peck feed selections. I purchase 40lb sacks of them from Azure Standard which is much cheaper than the prices here on desertcart. I just wish Azure Standard would carry this brand of Grower Grit.

## Features

- 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.
- Available In Different Sizes - Scratch and Peck Feeds Cluckin’ Good Poultry Grit is available in three convenient sizes: Chick, Grower, and Layer. 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is grit white?**
A: This will be shades of grey as it is crushed granite and/or quartz. Crushed oyster shells will be white in appearance. Crushed oyster shell is good for grit and for providing a calcium supplement.  However, you don't need to give baby chicks calcium until just before they start laying - somewhere around 6 months. I recommend giving both oyster shell and rock grit to layers.

**Q: Does grit normally have calcium in it?**
A: No it does not period. This grit product is made of crushed granite. It is not soluble and it passes whole through the entire digestive system. Oyster shell products is soluble and is a great source of calcium.

**Q: What is the size of this layer grit vs the chick grit (in mm)?**
A: This is a larger grit. Much to big for a silkie my larger hens are not as keen on it. Pretty big pieces

**Q: Does this have probiotics?**
A: No, and if I want to give probiotics, I'd choose the one I thought best, store it well, and give it in food or on/in a healthy treat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chicks love it!
*by R***A on August 11, 2025*

Perfect size grit for my new little babies. They are drawn to it and definitely know when to eat it. I’ve had other grits that don’t work as well or the chicks don’t care for them. This is a great brand.
