How much grit do they eat?

Recommended Posts

Our pullets are on "grower" feed, which doesn't contain grit, so I've been sprinkling a (very) small handful on top of their feed.

Slightly worried that this wasn't enough though, I placed a small Chinese teacup containing grit next to their water this morning, and within a few minutes Xena had swallowed about a third of it.

 

Does that sound OK?

 

Also, does the grit come out naturally with their droppings?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

I am feeding ours on organic layers pellets which do contain grit, but I have also added a small bowl with poultry grit, from keeping other birds I think they will only eat as much as they need but im sure someone more expereinced will be able to help more....
