what does your oyster shell and grit feeder look like?

[NewbieChickster]

Here is my Grit and Oyster Shell dispenser. There is a divider to split it into two sections. This holds about 5 lbs of grit and 5 lbs of oyster shell. I have only had to fill it a couple of times since mid August. It works great. I built it from plywood scraps from building my coop.

I also built a much larger version of this for their feed. I holds about 150 lbs of feed. I usually put 100 lbs of feed in it at a time and this lasts about 5 weeks. It makes feeding VERY easy. Here is a picture of it.

Do you have the plans available for the small one?

I just mix the grit and oyster shell in with the food

How much do you mix in of each?

I use raised dog/cat bowls. One bowl for each supplement. Works well and the grit and oyster shell stays relatively clean. Birds can just eat what they want of each.

Photo is an example. They come in many configurations. I like the plastic ones with the stainless steel bowls. Easy to clean as needed.
