Mile Four Chick Grit for Baby Chicks – 4 lbs, 0-8 Weeks Starter & 8+ Weeks Layer Grower, USA Mined Quartzite

Mile Four Chick Grit for Baby Chicks

Meet Mile Four Chick Grit, a 4 lb bag of 100% natural quartzite mineral grit mined in the USA. Designed for flocks from birth to the grower stage, it’s offered in two sizes: Starter Grit for ages 0–8 weeks and Layer & Grower for 8+ weeks. This grit supports feeding routines in young birds and across their early growth cycle, with a focus on accessibility and steady supply.

Chickens do not have teeth, so grit plays a practical role as they peck at their feed. The quartzite grit helps break down complex nutrients in the diet, aiding the body’s ability to access energy and minerals essential for healthy development. While results vary by bird, environment, and management, providing grit is a simple step many keepers use to support daily feeding routines.

Starter chicks benefit from ready access to grit, while older chicks and layers enjoy the Layer & Grower option to match their changing needs. Grit is eaten as needed, so you can set out a small dish or container in the coop and let the flock use it at their own pace. On average, a single starter chick may consume about 0.25 lb per month, though amounts differ by breed and weather conditions.

What you get

• Two sizes to choose from: Starter Grit (0–8 weeks) and Layer & Grower (8+ weeks).
• 100% natural quartzite mineral grit, free from additives or hormones.

How to use
