What kind of container do you use for grit?

I use a cement block, grit in one hole and oyster shells in the other. Pretty stationary.

Indeed.

I use one of these a friend gave me:

I've seen then at feed stores, but I don't know how much they are new. It looks like the one @Sueby posted for $4. I have it attached to the wire of my run using s-hooks. Easy, peasy. I like the idea of the bread pan. Grit in one side, oyster in the other.

S hooks are a great idea too!!

Cinderblocks are so handy.....temp roost holders/feeder holders (adjustable heights using holes or top, standing up or laying down), water/feeder blocks, etc

I use this when integrating my 4 week olds who arent quite comfortable with eating in the run/not quite big enough to use the adult no waste feeder. Same idea with a branch = roost for littles not quite ready to roost with the cool kids....

My mind is literally blown. I only plant stuff in mine and I thought *that* was creative use of a bland object

They are handy, full and half blocks.
but I never put them holes side down on floor/ground or mouses move in.

I'm guessing nobody has had a chicken off themselves on a cinder block.

Had one tear up a comb on one......and read of a bird getting stuck going thru the hole.
Neither died.

In the wide world of chickens, not dying seems a victory
