Ships Free by USPS! Scratch and Peck Feeds offers grit in three sizes - Chick, Grower, and Layer. Grit is necessary for the healthy development of a chicken's gizzard. The gizzard aids in digestion, and 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. Grit is intended to build up in the gizzard and grind food as it passes through. 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. Grit comes in various sizes for different birds depending on size and age. If you have bantams or smaller hens, you may want to stick with the Grower Grit rather than transitioning to the larger Layer Grit.
