Crafted from insoluble crushed quartzite or granite, this grit stays in the gizzard to assist mechanical digestion as birds work through their grain. Rather than a flavor boost, grit serves as a practical aid that supports your flock’s own digestion process. Providing the right size grit for growing birds helps unlock the full value of a whole grain feed, supporting steady development and comfort during the grower phase. This 7 lb bag is sustainably sourced, making it a practical, long-lasting addition to many coops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits for growing poultry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInsoluble grit persists in the gizzard to aid grinding of whole grains, aiding digestion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSize is tailored for growing birds, typically from 8 to 20 weeks of age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of a grit family that includes Chick, Grower, and Layer sizes to match your flock’s stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhen paired with appropriate grain feeds, it helps birds make the most of their nutrition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports natural foraging instincts, helping birds engage in a familiar feeding behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding guidance and practical use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e Introduce Grower Grit at about 8 weeks of age, continuing through the grower stage up to 20 weeks. \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e Use Grower Grit in combination with Grower Starter Feed for a balanced approach to growth nutrition. \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e Offer grit free-choice in a separate dish or lightly scatter in the coop to encourage natural intake. \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e If you run a layered flock later, transition to Layer grit when birds reach appropriate maturity. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its practical role, Scratch and Peck emphasizes sustainability—sourcing materials responsibly and keeping the supply chain transparent.
