Description

Chickens need to eat grit to help digest their food. The grit helps grind down the food the hens eat because as everyone knows, chickens dont have teeth. If your hens free-range then its likely that they already get enough grit in their diet, though if they are contained you should provide some grit.
Mixed grit is a specially selected mixture of both soluble and insoluble grits. Grit is an essential part of a poultry diet, Insoluble grit is stored in the bird’s crop and is used to aid the grinding up of food and help digestion. Soluble grit, dissolves in the digestive tract and provides absorbable calcium – an essential ingredient for producing eggshells and strong bones. Grit is best fed on the ground or from a poultry grit feeder.
