sarahw Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 My pet shop sells Layers pellets ( which the lady in the shop said already contain grit) or organic pellets which she said don't. They also sell chicken grit and corn,so which do i buy ?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Should be an interesting discussion - I thought that the layers ORGANIC pellets that come with the chooks had everything in them that they need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolinep Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I buy the organic layers pellets. We also buy some poultry corn (which they hoover up in no time!) and some crushed oystershell ... As well as treats of sweetcorn, salad, veggies and lots of other goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I get non-organic layers pellets, non-organic corn and mixed grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tara.F Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 my feeling is that whether or not pellets contain grit, and whether or not your chooks will freerange and be able to pick up grit for your garden....it costs very little and never goes off so buy some just in case. It's essential for their digestion so better to be safe than sorry I also use organic pellets because the whole point of keeping (for us) is to give our kids the highest possible quality eggs.
