"Complete mix with all necessary components for their digestion. We always mix this with the complete feed. This way, they get the necessary nutrients to stimulate their digestion and eggshell production (calcium)." — Tom C., verified review
Why is Pikmix indispensable for every chicken?
Chickens don't have teeth, but they do have a gizzard and glandular stomach. Without the right tools, they can't digest their food properly:
- Essential for digestion — chickens need small stones in their gizzard to grind food
- Strong bones & eggs — oyster shells provide extra calcium for sturdy eggshells
- Stimulates natural pecking behavior — the seeds make the mix appealing, so chickens peck at it more often than standard, bland grit
What's in Pikmix?
| Ingredient | Function |
|---|---|
| Grit (small stones) | Helps the gizzard grind food finely |
| Oyster shells | Natural calcium source for bones and eggshells |
| Seed mix | Makes the mix tasty, so chickens eagerly peck at it |
Who is this suitable for?
Suitable for all chicken breeds and ages. Almost every chicken that receives grains or snacks benefits from grit to properly digest them.
Usage & Dosage
Ensure your chickens always have access to Pikmix, alongside complete chicken feed like Complete Feed. Place it in a dry feeder or dish, or mix it with the complete feed. Chickens are picky: keep the mix clean and dry, otherwise they will leave it untouched.
Additional advice from our chicken experts
Pikmix is especially important if your chickens regularly receive grains or protein-rich snacks, such as Power Mix or Dried Mealworms — the more variety in the diet, the more important good grit is.

Kippetjes zijn er blij mee.
En wij ook met de lekkere eitjes!
Prima
Totale mix met alle nodige bestanddelen voor hun spijsvertering. We mengen dit altijd door het totaalvoer. Zo krijgen ze ineens de nodige stoffen binnen om hun spijvertering alsook de eierschaal (calcium) productie te stimuleren.
Kippen zijn gek op, zeer goed product
