Insoluble grit for young chicks. Here is some important information regarding when chicks need grit and how to provide it safely. Starter feed only: Chicks do not need grit if they eat only standard commercial starter crumbles or mash, as this feed breaks down easily without it. Added treats or greens: As soon as you offer bugs, scratch, veggies, or cooked eggs, they need tiny insoluble grit to help their gizzards grind the food. Use the right size: Only use fine, chick-sized grit or clean, fine sand (like playground or river sand). Never use large adult poultry grit. Avoid calcium grit: Do not use shell grit or anything with added calcium for young chicks, as excess calcium can harm their kidneys. Do not overfeed: Place the sand or grit in a separate bowl. Remove it if you notice the chicks gorging on it instead of eating their regular food. ℹ️ Learn more Blog: Why Are My Hens Not Laying? 🥚 - explore the common reasons hens stop laying and how to help Chicken Health 101 - a complete guide to keeping your flock healthy

Yes, we recommend giving shell grit to your hens and all seed-eating birds! We feed out Weston Layer Pellets to our laying birds, and the soluble calcium levels in this commercial feed are adequate for egg production with sound shells. However, for those birds that are in enclosed runs and do not have access to large areas of free range, we provide insoluble shell grit separately.  The insoluble grit sits in the bird's crop for a sustained length of time, aiding in digestion, as well as giving 'slow-release' calcium, thus aiding in the production of good quality egg shells. Birds self-regulate their own grit intake as they require it. Plus, trace elements from the sea will be beneficial to their diet. Suitable only for POL pullets and all laying hens. At Appletons, we fill a small pot planter (or an old pottery dish with a hole in it) secured with a wire stake in the ground (so the birds don't knock it over!) with our fine shell grit. Don't forget to line it with weed mat to contain the grit so it does not all wash out! Ingredients: 100% crushed New Zealand oyster shell grit. Typical Analysis: Minimum calcium level: 37.1% Grit for Younger Birds? If your chicks are being fed a complete chick crumble from day one through to point of lay, you usually won’t need to add grit to their diet. If you start offering treats or greens from around 3 to 4 weeks of age, we recommend providing a calcium-free insoluble stone grit to help support healthy digestion. Avoid shell grit at this stage, as the extra calcium can be harmful to young chicks’ kidneys. Choose a fine, clean, local insoluble grit option. In New Zealand, many backyard poultry keepers use coarse river sand, coarse grit, or small crushed pea metal once young birds begin eating grains, seeds, treats, and mealworms. Another simple DIY option is to offer a small bowl of ‘garden’ dirt or provide a small dust bath bowl in the brooder. They will love this! As the chicks peck through the soil, they naturally pick up tiny insoluble particles and sand that can help their gizzards process food. ℹ️ Learn more Blog: Why Are My Hens Not Laying? 🥚 - explore the common reasons hens stop laying and how to help Chicken Health 101 - a complete guide to keeping your flock healthy

Tips for training chooks onto nipples. The golden rule for teaching birds to use any type of new watering system like nipples is to remove all other sources of water! As long as they have what they are familiar with they will use it first and will never try something new. If their only choice is to drink from that new shiny metal thingy hanging under the pipe or bucket, it will only take one thirsty bird to try it and show everybody elsewhere to get a drink. To teach your birds to use the nipples, remember the golden rule - remove all other sources of water! When installing the new nipple system, simply gather your chooks around and show them by tapping the nipples with your fingers which causes water to leak. That will get their attention, and they learn very quickly. We recommend 2-3 chooks per nipple.Minimum 2 nipples for a small flock of 3. ℹ️ Learn more Blog: What is the Best Poultry Drinker for My Flock? - find the right drinker for your flock Blog: Make Your Chook Chores Easy! - tips for simplifying your chicken keeping routine Blog: Training Hens to Use a Chicken Nipple Drinker - how to get your hens drinking from nipples Shop Poultry Drinkers - browse our full range of poultry drinkers Chicken Drinker Support Page - browse Omlet's manuals, FAQs, and support videos
