Chick Grit – Essential Digestive Support for Young Poultry
Give your chicks the strong, healthy start they need with high-quality Chick Grit. This finely sized, insoluble granite grit is specially designed for young poultry and helps support proper digestion from the very beginning. When chicks begin eating anything other than commercial starter feed—including treats, grains, forage, or small particles—they need grit to help grind food efficiently in the gizzard.
Nutritious diets only work when chicks can digest them properly. Chick Grit ensures that vitamins, minerals, proteins, and natural forages are broken down effectively, promoting healthy development, stronger growth, and better overall flock vitality. Its fine consistency is ideal for young birds and transitions smoothly as they grow.

Why Your Chicks Need Grit
Chickens do not have teeth, so their digestive system relies on grit to grind feed properly. Even small amounts of supplemental foods such as grass, bugs, scratch grains, or kitchen treats require grit to digest. Without it, food cannot be processed efficiently, potentially slowing growth and affecting overall health.
Key Benefits
This Chick Grit is:
- Finely sized for safe consumption by young chicks
