Billy: I get my Granni-grit from the N. Carolina Granite Co. They market it
from granite chips removed from large slabs which have been cut and
polished. Incidently, Grani-grit is their registered trade name, so if it
appears on the package, you can be sure that it's granite, not oysters.

Any
feedstore with battered pick-up trucks parked in front of it will
carry grani-grit, at least in spring (it is a granite gravel that
comes in several coarseness levels to be used in different ages of
chickens).

Chicken grit varies by where you live. In Florida it is very likely to
crushed oyster shell as opposed to granite. Crushed oyster shell will be
high pH
and possibly, if not well washed, very salty.
