CHICKEN GRIT
Calcium carbonate Grit is an excellent source of calcium: Calcium carbonate is a soluble grit that provides calcium for chickens to produce eggs with strong shells. The calcium leaches out, supplying calcium to the hen. An adequate supply of calcium results in stronger shelled eggs and hens with better bone structure. Calcium deficiency can cause hens to stop laying eggs and can lead to bone damage in the hens.
Calcium carbonate Grit is beneficial for digestion: Grit helps maintain proper digestion in the chickens gizzards. Since chickens don’t have teeth, they rely on this grit to help break down the food.
Calcium carbonate makes a better grit than oyster shell: Oyster shells are a source of calcium but are too soft to be used as grit.
