Question regarding how you feed grit.

[Brink]

Hello everyone!

I was just wondering what is your preferred method for feeding grit to your flocks? Do you guys set it aside in a separate container for them to pick what they need? If you do this method, what containers have you found works the best so they don't scratch it out? Do you mix it into their food? If you do this, what ratio do you mix?

Thank you guys! Have a wonderful egg producing day!

I just sprinkle mine on the ground for them to scratch and peck at.

I give my girls their grit on a plate separate from their food bowl. If they scratch it out, I figure they’ll find it on the ground, if they want it.

I give mine on the side in a pet dish. They can still find it when they scratch some out.
Same with the oyster shells.
