Poultry Grits

Grit is an essential part of every chicken's diet — without it, they simply cannot digest their food properly. Poultry have no teeth, so grit acts as their grinding mechanism inside the gizzard, breaking down grain, pellets and foraged material into digestible nutrients.

Our poultry grit range includes:

  • Flint grit — insoluble hard grit that stays in the gizzard permanently to grind food; essential for all poultry on a grain or mixed diet
  • Oyster shell grit — soluble calcium supplement that dissolves in the digestive system; critical for laying hens to produce strong, thick-shelled eggs

Offer both types separately in small dishes so birds can self-regulate their intake. Free UK delivery available on qualifying orders.
