## Description

Product description SUSTAINABILITY COUNTS A little birdie told us that sustainability is important to you. It’s important to us, too. When we source ingredients, we partner with suppliers who prioritize sustainability practices. We also strive to purchase ingredients as locally as possible to reduce our carbon footprint. NOURISH TO FLOURISH Complete feeds? Check. Healthy treats? Check. Daily supplements? Yeparoo! Appropriately sized grit is a must have for digestive health. The calcium in oyster shell or limestone is necessary to laying birds because each bird’s calcium need varies. And dried herbs? We call it Hen Zen for good reason. THINK GOLDILOCKS Chickens and ducks swallow food whole. Grit in the gizzard helps break down food into small particles which move through the digestive system to release nutrients. The key is matching the correct grit size to the size of your birds. Think Goldilocks, not too big and not too small. Just right. NUTRITION FOR EACH AGE & STAGE OF YOUR FLOCK Silky feathers. Flocktastic energy. Vibrant health and longevity. Yup. Our feeds, treats, and supplements support all that and more. No matter the age or the stage of your flock, we’re here to help you find the perfect whole food nutrition options to help each of your chickens and ducks thrive.

Review: Grit for most sizes of chickens - I recently tried Scratch and Peck Feeds Cluckin' Good Layer Grit for my backyard flock of chickens. This product offers a great solution for supplementing the dietary needs of my laying hens. I appreciate that Scratch and Peck Feeds uses all-natural and organic ingredients in their products. Knowing that my chickens are consuming a high-quality, non-GMO grit gives me peace of mind. I noticed that my chickens eagerly consumed the grit, which suggests that it is both palatable and beneficial to them. I appreciate the different size options available, which cater to various breeds and sizes of poultry. The texture of the grit is just right, allowing my chickens to easily pick and consume it. There are some larger sized pieces of granite in this bag which my chickens do not consume. If you bantom chickens I would check another source for smaller sizes.
Review: Great - Nice granite, hardly dusty at all and shipped very fast. I wanted it to make 'gritty mix' for my succulents and this size is a little big for that - most pieces sized 1/4-1/2 inch, with a few a bit smaller. I would purchase from this supplier again but for gritty mix, go for 'grower size' rather than this 'layer size'.

## Features

- Necessary For Digestion - Made up of insoluble crushed quartzite or granite, grit remains in the bird’s gizzard to help with digestion. Grit is an essential part of your bird’s diet and should always be provided.
- Age to Give - Start after 20+ weeks. Layer Grit is for all laying hens. Broilers should switch directly from the Chick Grit to the Layer Grit at 4 weeks of age.
- Available In Different Sizes - Scratch and Peck Feeds Cluckin’ Good Poultry Grit is available in three convenient sizes: Chick, Grower, and Layer. Offer Layer Grit either free choice in a separate dish or tossing on the ground in their coop.
- Better Nutrition - Using the appropriately sized grit allows for the maximum nutrient benefit from whole grain chicken feed. Feed to developing pullets and full-grown hens and roosters at approximately 20 weeks of age.
- Promote Healthy Habits - In the wild, the chickens will go out and get the grit themselves, their mother will teach them to pick up little stones and they’ll naturally gravitate towards picking up these little stones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scratch and Peck Products are Always High Quality
*by W***R on August 21, 2023*

We're very glad we found Scratch and Peck 6 years ago. Across the board, their products are high quality, trustworthy, and sourced in the United States. A couple of years back I had to contact them with a question, and their customer service was prompt and professional, too. I highly recommend Scratch and Peck, including this layer grit.
