  • An essential digestive aid for all poultry and seed eating birds. NZ oyster shell fine grit for hens and other seed eating birds

    NZ Oyster Shell Fine Grit | Topflite

    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
