What do ya’ll think about this grit for 10 week old chicks?? It seems like huge pieces?!

Look into chick grit

Look into chick grit

So you think this is not what I want? I have chick grit, but it shows use until like, 3 weeks old. Is it still ok?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

I use chick grit for all my birds, but they also free range. Thar looks similar to gravel size and my birds xant physically eat gravel even as adults

That looks way too big, even for adults. I would definitely get something smaller.

Get a ruler and measure. Assuming you have standard size birds at 10 weeks you want grower size grit:

That's what I have for my 8 weeks old and my 14 months old hens.

It's the same size as Oyster Shells.

I also use the same brand.

Chick Grit is too small, will past through the gizzard in a 10 weeks old.

There's no Pullet Grit available at TSC. GC

GC! You are the Best! currently I have a container holding chick grit in the coop uncertain to switch it for the poultry grit. I will now switch it. Thank you for being so throughly informative. The pics are super helpful. Now…..what do you know about nonroosting 10wk olds!? I think going in there tonight with a red light and manually putting them on the roost.

The grit is fine, like GC said. It has some smaller pieces that can be picked out.

That's fine to do that, if you want to. They may get the hang of it, after a few nights.
