lillybettybabs Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just curious as to what sort of grit mixture people use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I don't use any as mine free range and seem to pick up all the stony stuff they need, but I do bake and blitz their eggshells to add to the feed for extra calcium. I'd usually recommend using a good mixed grit like you usually find in feed merchants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have a huge bag of mixed grit that I got from my local feed merchants and I add extra oyster shell to it. My girls are always tucking in even tho' they free range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have a ginormous bag of flint grit and a not quite so ginormous bag of mixed poultry grit. Every so often, when I think on I chuck a handful of each about. As mine free range most days, I worry less about the grit issue than I used to.

lillybettybabs Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have a girl with a crop full of large pieces of grit, I guess having big chickens in the past i didn't realize smaller one might need smaller grit , I've bought some flint grit now.
