Peppy-Grit: Essential Grit for Healthy Chickens - 25LB Bag

Aids Digestion & Nutrient Absorption

Since chickens have no teeth, their gizzards use large, insoluble grit to grind feed and slow down digestion, resulting in much better use of feed.

Peppy Grit works like nature’s chicken teeth. It’s rough enough to quickly grind any feed and large enough to remain trapped in the gizzard. Most grit at feed stores is way too small for layers. Layers need grit that’s around 5mm in size. Like any muscle, chicken gizzards need exercise and development. Grit-fed gizzards are 50-100% larger and stronger than those deprived grit.

◄Feeding Guidelines

• Provide Peppy-Grit in a separate feeder from regular feed to ensure your chickens have access as needed.
• Chickens instinctively regulate their intake and will not overconsume.
• On average, they will consume 2–4 lbs per year, meaning a little goes a long way. An average hen will consume about 5 pounds per year. A 25# bag should be enough for a flock of 5 for about a year..
• Keep Peppy-Grit available at all times to support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.
