Newbie!

Hi! I am new to raising chickens and have 9 Rhode Island Reds. They are currently 8 weeks old and I have feeding questions. Are they old enough for the "adult" grit? Should I feed it separately or just sprinkle some on their feed? Thanks!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Give them chick grit in a separate container.
