Grit can’t be dissolved; it stays in the gizzard and it’s used to grind food because chickens don’t have teeth. (Sorry, guys.)
It takes the place of what teeth do, and grinds and crushes food in the gizzards. Even the youngest birds need some grit to keep their gizzards working properly.
We've got the perfect size for babies, teens, and adults. Basics are below.
| Type of Grit | Uses | Description | Ingredients |
| | From hatch to 6-8 weeks of age. | Even the youngest birds need some grit to keep their gizzards working properly. We've got the perfect size just for the babies. Sizes can be mixed with no worry; the birds will choose the right sizes for themselves. | 100% crushed washed granite |
| 6ish - 18ish weeks of age. | Help your youngsters grow up strong and healthy! (And we promise, that gangly phase will pass.) We've got the perfect size just for "growers." Sizes can be mixed with no worry; the birds will choose the right sizes for themselves. | 100% crushed washed rose quartz | |
| Adult Layers | Birds will self-regulate their grit intake, so no worries about overdoing it. But if they need some and can't get to any, they may end up with digestive problems. Keep a bit out for you egg-laying friends at all times. | 100% crushed washed rose quartz |
