Beantree Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 When they need to grind their food, so if they are being fed scattered fine chick grain, otherwise when they go onto the co*****r pellets. We sieve out the little bits from regular grit and give it to them during the transition from chick crumb to rearers pellets, so around 4-5 weeks. Don't give them a pot of it, just a fine scattering in the food. Chicks can get 'addicted' to grit and just gorge on it, particularly if there are a lot of them trying to eat from the same feeder. The pecking order is established at a week, so some may be bullied off the feeder that early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
