Scratch and Peck Feeds Starter Grit
Starter Grit is perfect for chick-sized beaks. Birds lack that great grind we get with teeth, so they need some mechanism to break down food. Grit in the gizzard is how our feathered friends "chew." 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.
Ingredients
Insoluble Crushed Quartzite and/or Granite
Feeding Info
Sprinkle Starter Grit directly on feed for the first few days and then offer it in a separate dish, free-choice, for birds to consume as they need.
Additional Notes
Birds will self-regulate their grit consumption.
