I needed a small-sized grit that didn't contain any extra ingredients like crushed oyster shells for my 8 week old chicks since they are not laying eggs yet and don't need the extra calcium for egg production. This fit the bill perfectly. It is small enough for them to peck at, but not too fine that it is powder, and not too large that it does no good for their digestion. Speaking of which, if your chicks have runny poops, then you need to put them on this grit. Guarantee to firm up their poop in no time. My local feed stores have been out of stock (back ordered) of this type poultry grit for almost 2 months now. I shopped around online for poultry grit from other manufacturers, and this was by far, the best deal around here on Amazon. I also highly recommend their brand of Scratch and Peck feed selections. I purchase 40lb sacks of them from Azure Standard which is much cheaper than the prices here on Amazon. I just wish Azure Standard would carry this brand of Grower Grit.

Perfect size grit for my new little babies. They are drawn to it and definitely know when to eat it. I’ve had other grits that don’t work as well or the chicks don’t care for them. This is a great brand.

Was exactly what I have come to expect from this brand. Good value for delivering to doo and packaging made for no leakage. Great size for chicken grit and keeps the chickens healthy.

My chickens gobble up these rocks. These are noticeably bigger than the starter grit so pay attention to the age recommendation.

Works great for our chicks! Super happy with it. The chickens were happy with the size and started eating it up right away. Great value!
