Chick feeder for chicken grit?

[SueT]

Well, I just sprinkle oyster shell in a pile on the ground..... and occasionally grit too.

Seems simple and effective. Thanks for the suggestion. Do you by chance have a picture of the set up? Or what type of soap dish do you mean?

So I went fancy-shmancy with my dish, but any wall mount with a good enough lip would work. I have one dish for grit and once for oyster, and I refill once a week for 12 birds.

That's gorgeous, love that kind of stuff.......but wonder how much gets billed out?

It's actually not too bad! I have them installed about 8" off the ground in a corner near their feed. That spot is usually scratched down to dirt and I seldom see waste, so if anything is getting pushed out it's then being pecked up.

...can't say that white is the best for hiding dirt tho haha. Def don't look as glamorous as when they were first put in.
