markm Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I buy bags of poultry mixed grit for in the pens. Around £5 for 20kg bag at the local farm outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I was looking for something else the other day on amazon and poultry grit appeared about £10 for 25kg bag. Personally i would go to my local farm supplies, but handy if you can't get out to buy a bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonepark Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Seashell, seashell off the sea shore Free, just needs smashed up a bit with a big version of a mortar (fence post) and pedestal (old water boiler tub). At this time of year they need calcium for laying and growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Grit aids digestion in the crop. Oyster shell provides calcium for laying eggs. Buy whatever your need. Edited April 24, 2016 by CharlieT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
