Questions & Answers

5 Customer Questions


can this grit be used for ducklings?

Answer by ChewyOct 12, 2020
The chick grit will work for ducklings as well. Ducks don't have teeth, and instead, grind up food internally in their gizzards, so they require a regular supply of granite grit. Use chick-size grit for ducklings and chicken-sized grit for adult ducks. Crushed oyster shells provide laying hens with an additional calcium source.

Can I use this grit for doves?

Answer by ChewyFeb 20, 2021
This grit could be used for doves however, we recommend consulting with your exotic vet, as it's controversial if doves even need grit.

Ok for parakeets?

Answer by ChewyMar 13, 2023
This grit is not suitable for parakeets. Parakeets (also called budgerigars or budgies) are in the parrot (or hookbill) family, and like all parrots, they remove the hull of a seed before ingesting the kernel. Poultry, on the other hand, consume the entire seed, hull and all, so they require small amounts of grit to help them grind up the seed hulls in their stomach. This product is made for poultry and could actually be harmful to a parakeet or parrot if ingested, as it could cause a gastrointestinal tract obstruction.

Could I use this grit for quail?

Answer by ChewyAug 19, 2021
This chick grit is recommended for baby chicks, ducklings, turkeys, and game birds. Birds need access to grit, which is just crushed stone and helps churn the food down, supporting proper digestion. Recommended from hatch to 6-8 weeks.

Didn’t arrive when promised

The product is fine, but it didn’t arrive until a whole week from promised date, so I had to get some before it arrived.

Best grit I've found for my bantam chickens

It's more suitable for my bantam chickens that need a finer grit than standard size chickens. It's not overly fine like most chick grit.

Chick grit. my big girls love it!

The smaller size grit is easier to digest and more palatable for them. They love it!!

For older chicks

We bought for our week old chicks and the grit is way too big and the box says 8 weeks or more. Read the fine print!

Bad choice

This is just crushed gravel. I will not even give it to my chickens or my baby chicks for sure.

Great grit for outside

With so many grits with probiotics this was the only grit I could safely toss in outside pen and now worry about it getting wet.
