how to "serve" grit & oyster shell

"They" call it repurposing.

I call it finally using up some of that junk in the basement that you never threw away because you just knew you would need it one day.

This would never work for me, because my birds never have exact change.

I use a couple of those metal rabbit feeders that are made to hang on the outside of the wire rabbit cages. I hang them in the chicken coop and they work great.

I do the same thing.

sorry to hijack this post but the oyster shells I got from the co-op has pretty big pieces? I expected it to be more like the chick grit I gave the lil ones? is this typical?

This is a recent 50# bag of Manna Pro Oyster Shells.

Can you post a photo of what you got - maybe put a coin along side the shell for size reference.
Oyster shell is bigger than chick grit - I would say it's about the size of adult poultry grit (+/-)

that's it!!!!! seem so big for them to digest/swallow? Glad I got the right thing as I was afraid I had given them something that would hurt more than help. Thank you for posting pic.
