Ah, Murphy's Law at play?

Ok, thank you! Again, I will probably do the small rocks for peace of mind, but this makes me feel much better.

I thought that eggshells were a substitute for oyster shell? Wouldn't they dissolve too soon to be used as grit? I have plenty of oyster shell, I am just out of grit.

I think that I'll just harvest some small pebbles/stones from the yard for peace of mind. I haven't noticed any grit in the feed, which is why I was surprised that it could be there.

I feed Dumor 16% layer feed. This is the first I've heard about grit being in feed. I didn't start this thread with the intent of arguing with people or starting drama. Sorry about that.

Ok, thank you! I didn't know that.

Yes. I will stop feeding any treats while we don't have grit. I am asking for a substitute because I am A) Worried that they have not been getting enough in the past few days, so would like to have it available for them to help fill in that gap, and B) Worried that there is other stuff may get...

Yes. I searched for grit substitute and sand grit, and got conflicting results. That's why I made a thread.

I unfortunately can't free range my birds, as I do not have them fully trained to come back, they would probably escape over a fence, and I don't think that we've had them long enough for them to know their home. There are a few streams near us, and we have quite a bit of gritty stuff in our...

I'm getting some conflicting information on sand. Should I just go around and try to find a bunch of tiny rocks? Grit is going to be ordered tomorrow.

Whoops! I didn't see that before I posted! I'll get some in for them tomorrow, and also some little tiny rocks.

Ok! I'm just overthinking it, I bet. Would coarse sand work? I have some. I'm just a worrier, so I tend to overthink things.

Yep, I was going to do that, but I am still worried that they haven't been getting enough in the last few days. I wanted to keep a constant supply going because stuff also sometimes gets into their run, and they decide that it is their next meal.

I have run out of grit and am worried that my girls aren't getting enough. Anything I could use until our order comes?
