About this blend
Since chickens have no teeth, their gizzards use large, insoluble grit to grind feed and slow down digestion, resulting in much better use of feed. Small bag, big difference. Peppy Grit works like nature’s chicken teeth. It’s rough enough to quickly grind any feed and large enough to remain trapped in the gizzard. Most grit at feed stores is way too small for layers. Layers need grit that’s around 5mm in size. Like any muscle, chicken gizzards need exercise and development. Grit-fed gizzards are 50 to 100% larger and stronger than those deprived grit. Provide Peppy-Grit in a separate feeder from regular feed to ensure your chickens have access as needed.
