I personally preffer to mix it all in to one big bucket so I can just scoop it out and they can do what they want. Usually something like 25% Grain, corn, sunflower seed and something like 15% oyster shell and like 10% grit, as mine do have access to outside and maggot buckets to find some of their own food.
All chickens benefit from grit or tiny stones found in the wild. It helps them to crush up seeds after they eat them. I think they store them in their gizzards.
Super informative and direct. Thank you!
I get clam shells from the church men’s group clam bake. I crush them up and chickens love them. The eggs shells can get very thick!
This is a very comprehensive video on the topic of grit.

Could you do a video on the kikiriki chickens? I've only just heard of them because someone on NextDoor is selling them in my area!
I'll add them to the list!
Hi, do broilers need grit

I have 5 hens, they won't eat. The oyster shells and one hen has soft shell or no shell at all.
what about giving your chickens your oyster shells after you BBQ them?
So sad seeing those birds under those artificial lights! This modern technology has destroyed the Earth!
HELP
can baby chicks eat oysters shells?
No! Oyster shell is needed when they start laying eggs. It’s in the video 🤦♀️
