## Overview

Mile Four Starter Chick Grit is a 4 lb pack of finely crushed, 100% natural US-mined quartzite designed specifically for chicks aged 0-8 weeks. Essential for aiding digestion since chicks lack teeth, this grit helps break down feed for better nutrient absorption, promoting healthier growth and improved egg production. Its perfectly sized granules ensure safe, self-regulated consumption, making it the go-to choice for millennial poultry keepers who demand quality and sustainability.

## Description

Grit is required as chickens do not have teeth. With grit, chickens can "chew" & breakdown feed so their body can absorb the nutrients they need to be healthy & produce larger eggs more consistently. As chickens do not have teeth, they need grit (basically little rocks) to help break down and digest their feed.Mile Four Chicken Grit is rocks with nothing added. Specifically, 100% natural quartzite. Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts. Grit is to be set out at all times for chickens. Chickens will eat as needed and will not overeat. Even if your flock is free range and finding grit in the yard, we recommend supplementing their feed with grit to avoid digestive issues that are common without grit.How much to buy?1 Layer or Grower (8+ weeks) chicken = 1 lb. per month1 Stater (0-8 weeks) chicken = .25 lb. per month

Review: We have ten new biddies that we just added to our flock this week. After raising our first ten last year, 100% indoors until they reached pullet size, we have learned from trial and error as well as The School of Hard Knocks regarding what to do and what not to do with baby chickens. If you have raised baby chickens before, you know how difficult it is to find grit that is small enough for 0 to 8 weeks old. Most of what is sold as "Biddie Grit" or "Chick Grit" is entirely too large for baby chick's. We just found our permanent solution to this problem when we purchased this Chick Grit. It has a uniform fineness to it that is absolutely perfect for baby chick's. We found the product to be high-quality, with perfect ingredients and size. and was very fresh. It is an excellent value for the money, as one bag should get 15 to 20 chick's through their first and cutest stage of life. With our next brood, we will certainly re-purchase this product. ☆☆☆☆☆ Five Stars
Review: Grit was fine enough for baby chicks. They loved it. Even as adults they still really like the finer grit.
