Scratch and Peck Feeds offers grit in three sizes - Chick, Grower, and Layer. Grit is necessary for the healthy development of a chickens gizzard. The gizzard aids in digestion, and allows for maximum nutrient benefit from whole grain feeds. Made up of insoluble crushed rock, grit remains in the birds gizzard to help with digestion. Grit is an essential part of your birds diet and should always be provided, especially if there is no access to small, sharp rocks. Oyster Shell should not be substituted for Grit. Oyster Shell is intended to be broken down quickly and digested to allow for calcium absorption and egg shell strength. Grit is intended to build up in the gizzard and grind food as it passes through. Grit comes in various sizes for different birds depending on size and age. Our Layer Grit may be larger than what has been provided commercially, however, a long running poultry enterprise that we work with achieves their best results with this larger grit.

The Layer Grit supplement works well for my birds, and even though they're eating it happily, the delivery took a week longer than expected. Minor inconvenience, but the product itself is solid for their digestive health.

My chickens love it!
I started using this Layer Grit for my chickens about two weeks ago, and they absolutely love it. They’re scratching around happily and I feel good knowing it’s good for their digestion. Will buy again!

Decent supplement, packaging issue
The Layer Grit is doing its job for my flock, but when it arrived, the bag was slightly torn. Not a huge deal, but I prefer my feed to be in good condition. The grit itself is effective though, so I’ll keep using it!

Good for gizzard health, but pricey
This grit seems to really help my ducks, but honestly, it's a bit on the expensive side for a 7 lb bag. I have to buy it regularly for my flock, so I wish it were more affordable. Still, it does the job!

Great for my flock's health!
I bought this 7 lb bag of Layer Grit for my chickens and ducks a month ago, and I can see a real difference in their digestion. They seem more active and healthier overall! Plus, it’s nice knowing I'm giving them an essential supplement for their gizzards.
