Scratch and Peck Grower Grit - 7 lb for Chickens and Ducks | Gizzard & Digestive Support

Grower Grit for Growing Poultry

Scratch and Peck Grower Grit is a purposefully crushed insoluble grit designed to stay in the birds' gizzard and help mechanically break down whole grains. Sourced from natural quartzite or granite, this grit provides a sturdy texture that birds can peck and process as they feed. Offered in a practical 7 lb bag, it is sized to support growers in the 8–20 week window, helping birds transition to varied grains while staying aligned with natural foraging habits.

Real-life use is straightforward: introduce Grower Grit to developing pullets and roosters at about 8 weeks, either as free-choice in a separate dish or scattered on the coop floor. This mirrors a natural behavior and can help birds access their feed more efficiently as their diets diversify. To maximize results, pair Grower Grit with the Grower Starter Feed, enabling birds to make the most of whole grains as they grow.

The Grower Grit program is designed with flexibility in mind. It’s available in several sizes (Chick, Grower, Layer) to match different life stages, and Grower is the ideal middle option for birds moving from starter feeds toward more robust laying rations. For daily routines, you can simply keep grit in a dedicated dish or lightly toss it in the coop so birds can sample it as part of their feed ritual. Many keepers appreciate the tactile, crunchy texture as birds peck and pick at the grit during feeding, which can fit naturally into a calm, consistent routine.

Key Benefits at a Glance
