I buy whatever the feed store is selling for the cheapest amount. I have also used eggs shells, and a lot of people do also.

I don't want whatever because These days, with the research that has been done for formulated feeds (available as layers mash or pellets), it isn’t so critical to provide oystershell grit because layers feeds contain sufficient calcium,

I use Gran-I-Grit.
Start with chick grit then switch when they get big enough to regular size chicken grit.

Oyster shell is NOT grit. Oyster shell is for laying hens to help with eggshells.

Grit is just small rocks. Any brand is fine. There's no nutritional value in it. All chickens should have access to grit, they need it to grind down their food.

Grit and oyster shells are totally different things. Grit doesn't effect the feed at all, other then helping digest it. Like said above any brand is fine. I always go for the cheapest

FYI, In some parts, oyster shell is called soluble grit.
