With self-regulated intake and a trusted 4.6-star rating, it’s the go-to choice for professional and hobbyist poultry keepers aiming for optimal flock health and productivity. ## Description Grit is required as chickens do not have teeth. With grit, chickens can "chew" & breakdown feed so their body can absorb the nutrients they need to be healthy & produce larger eggs more consistently. As chickens do not have teeth, they need grit (basically little rocks) to help break down and digest their feed.Mile Four Chicken Grit is rocks with nothing added. Specifically, 100% natural quartzite. Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts. Grit is to be set out at all times for chickens. Chickens will eat as needed and will not overeat. Even if your flock is free range and finding grit in the yard, we recommend supplementing their feed with grit to avoid digestive issues that are common without grit.How much to buy?1 Layer or Grower (8+ weeks) chicken = 1 lb. per month1 Stater (0-8 weeks) chicken = .25 lb. per month Review: very good little baby rocks - Chickens need grit for their digestion. Girt is just little baby rocks. The little rocks go in their gizzards and help mash up their food. These are very nice little rocks of all different sizes and textures. Why pay for little rocks? Cause I live in sand and there are no little rocks anywhere nearby. So if you need little baby rocks, these do the job of being rocks very well. Review: Excellent drainage - Perfect for planting succulents! Provides excellent drainage. ## Features - TWO SIZES TO CHOOSE FROM: Starter Grit for ages 0-8 weeks. Layer & Grower for ages 8+ weeks - REQUIRED AS CHICKENS DO NOT HAVE TEETH: With grit, chickens can "chew" & breakdown feed so their body can absorb the nutrients they need to be healthy & produce larger eggs more consistently - PERFECT FOR LAYERS & GROWERS: Keep your layers & growers as healthy as possible with grit available - CHICKENS WILL EAT AS NEEDED: Your chickens will eat grit when needed, making it easy to set out in a separate container to their feed - 1 CHICKEN = 1 lb.
