Good value for delivering to doo and packaging made for no leakage. Great size for chicken grit and keeps the chickens healthy. Review: Good size for a bantam duck - I've just started to give it to my duck, but he certainly dove in with gusto. Bantam ducks can choke on the size of grit meant for large birds (Mine is a Call Duck, less than 1.5 pounds, full grown.) This grit is a good size for him, and feels like a good consistency for doing its job of grinding up his food for him. Time will tell, in terms of whether he continues to digest his food well, but he's been on it for a couple of days and so far so good. Because he's a drake, (male duck), he shouldn't have all the calcium that any egg-laying female should have. This grit is good for drakes, and females who aren't laying any eggs, because it has no added source of calcium (like oyster shell). So my duck can get the grit he needs without having to ingest more calcium than is good for him. I also appreciate that it doesn't have any other additives like some of the other grits have in them -- such as vegetable oil or probiotics. He gets healthy fats and probiotics in his food, anyway, which is also from Scratch and Peck, and which I believe to be an excellent quality food. In the ingredients of some of the other grits on the market, they just list "vegetable oil". No telling what kind, what quality. Plus, oil goes rancid, and grit may be stored for quite a while. I'd rather my duck gets his oils and probiotics from a high-quality food which has not been stored longer than is advisable, (as well as from all the "free ranging" bugs he can eat, and from all that dabbling in the mud, which has *got* to be providing some soil-based probiotics... ) ## Features - Necessary For Digestion - Made up of insoluble crushed quartzite or granite, grit remains in the bird’s gizzard to help with digestion. Grit is an essential part of your bird’s diet and should always be provided. - Age to Give - Start day 1 through 8 weeks of age. Broiler chicks from day 1 to 4 weeks. This helps establish correct feeding habits by sprinkling grit over their feed mash for the first week and then offer it free choice in a separate container. - Available In Different Sizes - Scratch and Peck Feeds Cluckin’ Good Poultry Grit is available in three convenient sizes: Chick, Grower, and Layer. We recommend you transition to our Grower Grit from 8 weeks to 20 weeks. - Better Nutrition - Using the appropriately sized grit allows for the maximum nutrient benefit from whole grain chicken feed. Use Chick Grit in conjunction with our Chick Starter Feed to provide your poultry with optimal nutrition from day one. - Promote Healthy Habits - In the wild, the chicks will go out and get the grit themselves, their mother will teach them to pick up little stones and they'll naturally gravitate towards picking up these little stones. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B014RYWRTQ | | Additional Features | Designed for Baby Chicks and Small Breeds | | Age Range (Description) | Baby | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Animal Food Diet Type | Raw | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | Non-GMO | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,719 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #106 in Bird Food | | Brand | Scratch and Peck Feeds | | Brand Name | Scratch and Peck Feeds | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 625 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Chicken | | Item Form | Raw | | Item Weight | 3.23 kg | | Manufacturer | SCRATCH AND PECK FEEDS YOU ARE WHAT YOUR ANIMALS EAT | | Manufacturer Part Number | 609224799716 | | Model Number | 609224799716 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Package Size Name | 7 lb | | Product Benefits | Aids digestion and promotes healthy gizzards | | Recommended Uses For Product | Young Poultry, Chickens, Ducks (1-8 weeks of age) | | Special Ingredients | Crushed Granite | | Specific Uses For Product | Digestive Health | | Target Species | Bird | | UPC | 609224799716 | | Unit Count | 112 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Baby - **Brand:** Scratch and Peck Feeds - **Flavor:** Chicken - **Item Form:** Raw - **Specific Uses For Product:** Digestive Health ## Images ![Scratch and Peck Feeds | Starter Grit for Chickens & Ducks | 7 lb Pouch | Essential Supplement for Healthy Digestion and Gizzard Health, All Natural, Sustainably Sourced - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DSKuj-ERL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is grit white?** A: This will be shades of grey as it is crushed granite and/or quartz. Crushed oyster shells will be white in appearance. Crushed oyster shell is good for grit and for providing a calcium supplement. However, you don't need to give baby chicks calcium until just before they start laying - somewhere around 6 months. I recommend giving both oyster shell and rock grit to layers. **Q: Does grit normally have calcium in it?** A: No it does not period. This grit product is made of crushed granite. It is not soluble and it passes whole through the entire digestive system. Oyster shell products is soluble and is a great source of calcium. **Q: What is the size of this layer grit vs the chick grit (in mm)?** A: This is a larger grit. Much to big for a silkie my larger hens are not as keen on it. Pretty big pieces **Q: Does this have probiotics?** A: No, and if I want to give probiotics, I'd choose the one I thought best, store it well, and give it in food or on/in a healthy treat. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect size grit *by D***Y on January 6, 2026* Was exactly what I have come to expect from this brand.

My chickens seriously flock to this and it's too cute! I would definitely recommend and would buy again! ## Frequently Bought Together - Scratch and Peck Starter Grit Supplement for Chickens and Ducks - 7 lbs Bag - Essential Supplement for Gizzard and Digestive Health - Sustainably Sourced - Scratch and Peck Whole Grain Starter Mash for Baby Chicks and Ducklings - 10 lb Bag - Corn and Soy-Free Feed with 20.5% Protein, Certified Organic and Non-GMO - Scratch and Peck Feeds Whole Grain Starter Crumbles Chicken and Duck Feed - 25 lbs Bag - Corn-Free and Soy-Free - 20.5% Protein, Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified Chicken Food --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21003626-scratch-and-peck-feeds-starter-grit-for-chickens-and-ducks](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21003626-scratch-and-peck-feeds-starter-grit-for-chickens-and-ducks) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
