Why do chickens need grit? Chicken Grit is necessary in a chicken's diet for the healthy development of a chicken’s gizzard. 

The gizzard aids in digestion, & allows for maximum nutrient benefit from whole grain feeds. Made up of insoluble crushed rock, grit remains in the bird’s gizzard to help with digestion and grind food as it passes through. Grit comes in various sizes for different birds depending on size and age. Just like chickens eat tiny rocks in the wild, our chicken grit matches this natural activity. Grit is an essential part of your bird’s diet and should always be provided, especially if there is no access to small, sharp rocks.

Grower grit should be used as part of your flock's diet to help support digestion and grind food as it passes through. Your hens will thank you… digestion will be so much easier. And healthy digestion = healthy hens.

Help your adult chickens stay strong and healthy. We've got the perfect size grown-up chicken grit, made specifically for our adults. From about 6+ weeks and on. Sizes of grit can be mixed with no worry; the birds will choose the right sizes for themselves. Promise. Breathe in, breathe out.

Edward ★★★★★

I picked this up once my pullets hit six weeks, and the gizzard development difference showed within a couple weeks. The pieces are sized right for grown birds, so no wasted dust at the bottom of the bag. Digestion seems smoother and they're cleaning up their feed better.

George ★★★★★

My girls are eating this up and their gizzards are clearly working better since digestion seems smoother. The texture is coarse enough that they really have to grind it, which is exactly what a growing hen needs past six weeks.

Hannah E. ★★★★★

My hens went through this bag noticeably faster than the last grit I tried, which tells me they're actually eating it and their gizzards are getting the workout they need. The pieces are sturdy enough that I don't find dust at the bottom of the feeder, so nothing's going to waste.
