Why is Oyster Grit important?
- Strong bones & eggs — calcium from oyster shells ensures thick, strong eggshells
- Better digestion — shells in the gizzard help chickens grind their feed properly
- 100% natural & pure — crushed oyster shells without additives
Why do chickens need calcium?
- Strong eggshells — without sufficient calcium, you'll get thin, brittle eggs
- Strong bones — important for growing young chickens and older hens
- Muscle function — calcium plays a role in muscle contractions and overall vitality
Who is this suitable for?
Suitable for all chicken breeds and ages, especially laying hens and growing young chickens.
Usage & Dosage
Ensure your chickens always have access to oyster grit, in addition to complete chicken feed such as Complete Feed. Place it in a dry feeder or small dish. Chickens are selective: keep it clean and dry, and replenish regularly.
Does your chicken prefer not to eat loose oyster grit?
This is common — some chickens prefer to forage for pebbles themselves and ignore a dish of loose oyster grit. For such cases, we developed Pikmix: the same grit and oyster shells, supplemented with tasty seeds that chickens are much more eager to peck at.
