Fine shell grit offers several benefits for chooks.  It plays a crucial role in supporting their digestive health. As chickens do not have teeth, they rely on grit to grind their food in their gizzards, aiding in the breakdown of grains and other hard foods they consume. Fine shell grit, being smaller and more finely ground, is particularly effective in assisting the digestion process, ensuring the birds can extract maximum nutrients from their feed.

Fine shell grit helps improve eggshell quality. It provides a rich source of calcium, a vital mineral for hens to produce strong and healthy eggshells. When chooks have access to shell grit, they can maintain optimal calcium levels, reducing the risk of thin or brittle eggshells, which can be susceptible to cracking during laying.
