Best way to spread grit

[WildBilly]

I feed my chickens their grit inside the coop in a small bowl, but the chickens keep tipping the bowl over, any suggestions of how to spread the grit and how much to feed per chicken?

My area has enough small rocks I don't need to have grit. Plus I feed them crumbles. But when first started I had one of the plastic 7lb feeders I would just hang outside. They will eat what they need. I drilled small holes along the bottom so if it rained the water wouldn't stand in the bowl part. That's what I do with there oyster shells also.

I guess I will make a grit/oyster shell feeder in the coop. I could hold it togethor with screws or nails using a drill or hammer. i can drill it to the inside wall of the coop. this way they won't tip the bowl over.

When u have chickens you have to be creative. LOL.

I put mine in a fishbowl in the corner, with two boards securing it into the corner. The shape keeps them from flinging it around.
