Chick grit

[HannahKline14]

So I actually have a horticultural application for the chicken grit, and I need hundreds of pounds of it. The five-pound bags would never work on price. The 25 lb bag at $8/bag is about where I need to be. But I need this to be real chick grit #1 (1/16" to 3/32" only, as crushed granite). I was hoping to find a California supplier for the product specification I need, in bulk quantities at bulk pricing. So far no luck.

we put a little chick grit with our chicks separate for their food and they would hardly touch it, they would just knock it down, in the wild they may need grit at an early age because their food isn't in crumbles. We still gave them the chick grit but like I said they didn't really touch it ( I just found this online but have seen other sites say the same thing⤵ are your chicks outside?

What I have read is that if the chicks are foraging, they do not need supplemental grit. But if you start to give them treats, that is when you need to mix grit in with the treats so they get what they need to digest those treats along with the treats.
