The role of Grit

An Essential Digestive Aid

Chickens don’t have teeth—they rely on grit to grind down food in their gizzard. Rose quartz is a durable mineral, so it’s effective and long lasting. It also sparkles in the sunlight and is said to have calming properties. We strongly endorse healthy, happy, chill chickens with subtle bling.

    Girls with Grit

    I just added the grit to my coop. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

    Opening the bag I noticed that it was very clean and there was no odd smells. One of my Girls checked it out right away then saw a bug 🐛 so yea lol.

    So far everything that I have ordered has been wonderful and i suspect nothing less with the grit.

FAQ
  • Grit is essentially tiny, sharp, insoluble pieces of rock. Free-ranging chickens instinctively ingest rocks to help digest their food because they don’t have teeth. 

  • Grit is an important part of digestion. Since chickens don’t have teeth, they rely on grit to help grind down food in their gizzard. An absence of grit can create digestive problems such as impaction or sour crop. A strong, healthy gizzard means healthy digestion, which improves nutrient absorption. This is critical for egg production, egg quality, and a hen’s overall health. 

  • It depends on where they free range. It’s hard to know if they are getting enough, and that’s why you should offer it. Sand or fine dirt won’t do the trick. If they don’t need it, they won’t eat it. In short, we recommend putting it out and refilling as needed. A single bag can last months! 

  • No, oyster shells are often provided as a source of calcium, but they are not an ideal grit. Stomach acid breaks down oyster shells making them a less effective digestive tool as compared to a more durable mineral like rose quartz. 

  • We love rose quartz as chicken grit for a lot of reasons. It’s a durable mineral that doesn’t easily break down by the acid in the gizzard, so it’s very effective and lasts a long time. Grubbly Farms rose quartz is sustainably sourced from a family-owned mine in the USA. It is free of chemicals, safe for the environment, and a beautiful natural pink that sparkles in the sunlight. Who doesn’t love a little bling in the hen house? And while we can’t make any “official” claims, we hear rose quartz has soothing properties, promoting calm and balance. We all know a chicken who could use that! We strongly endorse healthy, happy, chill chickens with subtle bling (that’s responsibly and sustainably sourced in the USA, of course). 

  • Chickens should always have access to grit. Keep it in a separate feeder, so they can help themselves whenever they need it. It’s also important to make sure they always have access to fresh, clean water. Grit can make them thirsty. 

  • Not typically. Grit is not a treat, so they are not inclined to overeat it; however, if it is mixed in with food or treats, it could cause accidental over ingestion, which could lead to impacted crop. If kept separately, or sprinkled in bedding or on the ground, they will only eat it when they need it. 

  • You should always keep a separate dish of grit, but you can also sprinkle it in their bedding or on the ground so they can scratch and peck for it. If it’s the first time they’ve been provided grit, you can add some to their feed just to introduce it.
