Cracked Corn is never "grit." Birds have no teeth so their food is prepared for digestion in with bits of stone or "grit" to grind the food. To survive birds (chickens) must contantly ingest this grinding material along with their food. In some areas it is crushed oyster shell and in others it is granite. I have even seen Turface sold as grit, but I wouldn't use it with my chickens as I don't think it would be hard enough. BTW, a link between bids and dinosaurs is this need for grinding and a artifact frequentny found with dinosaur bones is a small pile of stones.

LOL
Are we discussing "Grits" ? My wife loves grits for breakfast in the morning. From what I understand, it's ground up corn. Not sure I'd like to put it on my trees.

In California there are a lot of versons of crushed
granite available, so it was not forsale at the feed store, only this corn stuff, perhaps it was "Scrath." Kits --- Mark Hill - Alternative Connection wrote: LOL Are we discussing "Grits" ?

Chickens are sometimes fed in a pan of meal or mush, but also a corn or seed mix thrown on the ground to let the chickens do their natural thing and "scratch" the ground to uncover seeds and insects.
Provided your plants are large enough to escape damage, chickens can do a job of weeding a planting with this behavior.

Grit and grits are two different things.
But frankly, I'd rather eat chicken grit than grits. (Shudder) Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - People, when Columbus discovered this country, it was plum full of nuts and berries.
