Newbe here.....this question has probably been answered many times BUT, I wasnt here to find out so I will ask again.
Going to the store to buy Granite Grit in 5 # bags for about $1.00 per pound seems to be a bad idea....I have inquired
around to several co-op, feed stores, etc etc etc to try and buy it in 50# qty at a decent price to no avail....My pheasants
love the stuff, Guineas crave it, my Peafowl would almost rather have it than food.......yet you cant but it in bulk at a good
price in our area..............Next Idea: Everyone that I have talked to at the feed stores suggest Oyster shell. I wouldnt think
it would be the same because I do believe oyster shell breaks down in the bird offering calcium etc etc etc and it would
not offer the same grinding effect that Granite Grit would have....and granite grit would probably not break down. What
is the opionion of you readers, and am I correct in saying that each has its own purpose and both should be supplied
to the flock? Any discussion would be helpful....................thankx.........k4eqh............zip
