What kind of container do you use for grit?

[aart]

do you guys give only grit and oyster shells or do you give anything else.

Feed and water nothing much else is needed,
except some electrolytes once a week during hot weather.

I use vinegar jugs or milk jugs, repurposed instead of trash. Cheap, easily replaceable, no fuss. I just use cable ties to hook to wire or post, whatever is where you want to hang it. I use them for both grit and oyster shell. Cut a hole/window in the side, done.

I've seen people use those cute old fashion match holder thingys.... Not sure what they are called though

They're called "match holders".

Sorry I'm just being a wise acre pipe smoker.

Just a quick question; do you guys give only grit and oyster shells or do you give anything else.

A fresh feed 18/20% Protein and Plain water 24/7.
For treats I give Scratch Grains that I add a Cardinal mix to.
In winter I give Alfalfa hay for greens.
I let my hens free range an hour before sunset daily, weather permitting.
Yesterday I let my 10 months old pullets out of their pen for 20 minutes of supervised grazing for the first time.
That's it. I keep Nutri-Drench on hand for sick or impacted crop and for day old chicks for the first 10 days. I also use Medicated feed for the first 10 weeks.
That's it as far as nutrition. I've never added ACV or Electrolytes to their water.
During a heatwave I will make them a very wet mash with their feed and refrigerated water. GC
