Perfect, you guys answered my question, thankyou.
So now I start to wonder, do chickens prefer larger or smaller grit?
Or does size grit a chicken wants change as it grows?
Regardless, I guess since they live outside on the ground they can figure it out for themselves.
Yeeh, the colored aquarium gravel is prolly not the best idea . . .
So basically, they have no control over it, and any given piece of grit will stay until its ground all the way down, then discraded?
I understand that different material will last for different times before being ground down...
How long does grit last in a chicken?
Do they continually exchange old for new with no control?
Do they have a favorite piece or 2 of grit that they hang on to?
If they dont need it(starter mash etc) do they keep it for later or just not eat it?
This makes me want to do an experiment with...
