Everyday Medium Shell Grit 3kg
Product Description
Forage Everyday Medium Shell Grit delivers a vital reservoir of bioavailable calcium and marine trace minerals for caged birds, aviary flocks, and backyard poultry. Crushed to an optimal medium grade, it supplies essential building blocks for bone density, skeletal strength, and thick eggshell formation in laying hens, ducks, and breeding birds.
Beyond daily nutritional supplementation, this natural crushed grit serves as an efficient floor substrate for aviaries, coops, and cage trays. Spreading it along base trays absorbs waste moisture and neutralises local coop odours, keeping habitat floors dry, hygienic, and manageable.

š„£ Feeding & Usage Guidelines
Poultry & Ground Birds: Offer free-choice access in a separate, weather-protected feeder or heavy dish alongside normal rations. Laying hens, ducks, pigeons, and doves will self-regulate their intake according to biological need.
Parrots: Captive parrots do not require soluble grit for normal digestion. Offer only a very small, occasional pinch to satisfy chewing enrichment without overconsumption.
Floor Substrate: Spread an even, thin layer across clean coop dropping boards, nest boxes, or aviary pull-out trays. Spot-clean soiled patches regularly and replace fully as needed.
