Scratch and Peck Feeds Offers grit in three sizes - chick, breeder, and layer. Grit is necessary for the healthy development of a chicken gizzard. The sprocket helps with digestion and allows maximum nutrient benefit from whole grain food. Consists of insoluble crushed rock and stays in the bird's gizard to aid in digestion. Grit is an essential part of your bird diet and should always be provided, especially if there is no access to small, sharp rocks. Oyster shell should not be replaced with grit. The oyster shell is said to be quickly broken down and digested to allow calcium absorption and egg shell strength. Grain is said to build up in the gear rim and grind as it passes through the food. Grit comes in different sizes for different birds depending on size and age.
