mistysark Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 My chooks have layers pellets and i have been adding a handfull of grit to there feed container.

Lavenders_Blue Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The easiest way to feed grit is to fill a cage cup and leave it in the run for them. The chooks will take as much as they need, as and when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I scatter it too. A handful every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucklamp Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 We use a cup but found that they much prefer to peck and the bits we drop / discard when filling the cup up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I use a cup but inevitably some helpful chook climbs on the pot and sends the grit flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
