What Grit Does
Chickens can’t chew, but they have one of the most efficient digestive processes in the animal world. As chickens pick and scratch at the ground, they consume small rocks that go into the gizzard. The gizzard contracts after the chicken eats, grinding the food between the rock particles. Without grit to break the food into a more digestible size, blockages and illness are the likely outcome. Chicks need grit as soon as their feathers come in; you’ll also trade their chick starter for growing crumble.
Feeding Grit
Even if your chickens free range, you should provide a dish of grit to ensure that your chickens get enough. Chickens will take only what they need, so a backyard flock rarely goes through more than 10 pounds a year. While you can feed grit in a small, open dish, a commercial grit feeder prevents fecal matter from contaminating it. The covered feeder has holes in the sides for chickens to put their heads through to access the grit but keeps them from scratching it out with their feet. A specially contoured lid discourages chickens from perching on the feeder.
