Unlike mammals, chickens don't have teeth to chew their food. Instead, they rely on grit in their gizzard to mechanically grind feed, allowing proper digestion and nutrient absorption. Without adequate grit, chickens cannot properly break down their food, leading to poor nutrition and health issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eThis premium blend combines two crucial components in optimal proportions. The oyster shell provides soluble calcium that dissolves gradually in the digestive system, continuously supplying the mineral needed for strong eggshell formation. The flint grit (insoluble grit) remains in the gizzard, acting like millstones to grind food particles into digestible pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eWhat makes this particularly valuable is the convenience of having both types in one product. Chickens are remarkably intelligent about their nutritional needs - they'll consume more oyster shell when actively laying and more grit when eating whole grains or fibrous materials. By offering this mixed formula, you're allowing your flock to self-regulate their intake, ensuring each bird gets exactly what they need when they need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e All laying hens, chickens eating whole grains or kitchen scraps, free-range flocks, preventing soft-shelled eggs, supporting digestive health, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Happy Hen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55943989789052,"sku":null,"price":4.29,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/0481\/5996\/files\/Mixed-Grit-for-Chickens.jpg?v=1762357932","url":"https:\/\/myhappyhen.com\/products\/mixed-grit-oyster-shell-chickens","provider":"My Happy Hen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
