GRIT FARM Poultry Grit 2.5 kg | Strong Eggshells & Better Digestion

Description

Give your flock the natural mineral support it needs with GRIT FARM Poultry Grit by Paszarnia Tradycyjna – specially formulated to promote strong eggshells, healthy bones and optimal digestion. This premium mineral grit for chickens contains finely crushed shell particles in an easy-to-consume grit form, providing an excellent natural source of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. These essential minerals are vital for laying hens to produce strong eggshells while supporting proper bone development and strength. Made from 100% natural ingredients, the formula is enriched with anise, which enhances both flavour and aroma, encouraging higher feed intake.

Why Are Sea Shells Important for Chickens?

Sea shell grit releases calcium much more slowly than finely ground limestone, making it an excellent calcium supplement for chickens. This slow release is especially important overnight, when laying hens form eggshells and their calcium requirements are at their highest.

Supports healthy digestion – small shell particles help grind feed in the gizzard, improving digestion and nutrient absorption.
Suitable for all types of poultry – ideal for laying hens, chickens, ducks, turkeys, pheasants, quail, partridges and geese.
Promotes strong eggshells and healthy bones – helps prevent soft-shelled eggs, calcium deficiencies and skeletal problems.

How to Feed Poultry Grit

For the best nutrient absorption and controlled intake, it is recommended to offer poultry grit in a separate container. Chickens will naturally regulate their consumption and eat more mineral grit whenever their calcium or digestive needs increase.

Provide continuous access to shell grit.
Serve in a feeder or on a feeding tray.
Optional: sprinkle directly onto the feed.

Poultry Grit—What Should You Know Before Feeding It?

What Is Poultry Grit?

Poultry grit is a mineral feed supplement made from crushed sea shells in a coarse grit form. It supports healthy digestion by helping birds grind feed in the gizzard while also supplying calcium and essential minerals for strong eggshells and healthy bones.

Do Free-Range Chickens Need Grit?

Yes. Even though free-range chickens naturally pick up small stones outdoors, this is usually not enough to fully support digestion or meet their mineral requirements. Shell grit for chickens provides additional calcium and essential trace minerals needed for optimal health and egg production.

Can Poultry Grit Be Mixed with Feed?

Yes. Mixing poultry grit with feed is one option, especially if chickens are reluctant to eat it separately. However, the recommended method is to offer the grit in a separate feeder, tray or container, allowing birds to regulate their own intake according to their nutritional needs.

Which Birds Can Be Fed Poultry Grit?

Poultry grit is suitable for both young and adult birds. It is a versatile mineral supplement that can be fed to laying hens, chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, turkeys, quail and pigeons.

How Much Poultry Grit Do Birds Need Each Day?

The required amount depends on the species, age and production stage of the birds. It is recommended to provide continuous access to poultry grit, ideally in a separate container, so birds can naturally consume the amount they need.
