Yes, you're right. I was more thinking of grit's ability to grind things once they reach the gizzard, to prevent impactions there and further on, but it did sound like I was only talking about crop impactionNat, actually grit has nothing to do with preventing crop impaction. Grit doesn't do any good until it gets to the gizzard where it can help prevent gizzard impaction. Gizzard impaction is a real thing too but grit helps grind stuff up if it gets that far. I know I'm getting a little picky with this but I see grit often suggested as a cure or preventative for crop impaction. It's not and does not help anyone actually experiencing crop compaction.
Not all molds are dangerous.Weāll see I throw moldy food in there and the good food for the chickens. But then they eat the moldy food too
Chickens arenāt dumb haha. Well, sometimes they arenāt dumb. Iāve caught mine eating styrofoam before so thereās that. And they didnāt die from it.One winter I had about 9" of snow. It took a couple of days before they went out in it but eventually some did. It was really easy to see where they went since they left trails. Where they went was where they were used to finding food. One trail went to the compost pile, that was one of their high priorities.
One of my hens ate an entire 2'x3' sheet of cardboard from the box their coop came in. She was fine, just stupid.Chickens arenāt dumb haha. Well, sometimes they arenāt dumb. Iāve caught mine eating styrofoam before so thereās that. And they didnāt die from it.
