What does everyone use for grit in the winter?
Do you buy that limestone rock or granite grit? Do you feed it with or without oyster shell?
I wonder how long the rocks they picked up in the summer and Fall last in their gizzards?
I recently ran out of grit, basically fine gravel I picked up beside the road for them and was wondering how long they are good without new grit?
Also what size of grit is the best for full grown layers? I feed about half layer pellets and half whole spring wheat so I know they need lots of grit to grind up those whole grains but how much?
Looking forward to hearing what everyone else offers their birds!
