Hen Grit #3

  • Sale
  • Regular price $7.75


Grit is important for chickens because they don't have teeth. Instead, they use grit in their gizzard to help grind down the food before it moves through the digestive system.

  • This grit aids digestion by acting as a natural grinder in the stomach, helping your beaked buddies digest food properly without dissolving in the gizzard.
  • Made from 100% crushed quartzite, this grit is harder and sharper than granite, allowing the gizzard to work faster and more efficiently.
  • Naturally occurring and non-polluting, this grit is safe for your flock and does not disrupt their environment.
  • It couldn’t be easier to use—simply add to your poultry's pack without worrying about upsetting the mineral balance or digestive process.
  • Cherry Stone grit remains clean and does not dissolve or become muddy, keeping a hygienic environment for your feathered friends.

Put a small amount of grit in a separate little feeder/container, rather than mixing it into their feed. They will generally take what they need.
