Overview

Mile Four Chick Grit is a natural, quartzite-based mineral supplement designed for baby chicks from day one through their early growth. Packaged as a single 50 lb bag, it offers two growth-ready formulations to support birds as they transition from starter to layer maturity. The grit is USA mined, delivering a clean, inert texture that birds can handle easily in a separate feeder or mixed with feed, depending on how you prefer to manage your coop.

Two sizes to match growth

  • Starter Grit for ages 0–8 weeks
  • Layer & Grower for ages 8+ weeks

Why grit matters for chickens

Chickens lack teeth, so they rely on grit to physically break down feed inside the crop and gizzard. This natural action helps birds access the nutrients in their daily feed and supports steady energy for activity around the coop. While grit is a practical aid, results can vary with flock conditions and management practices.

Practical use and daily routines

  • Chickens will eat grit as needed, so you can set it out in a separate container beside their feed
  • Keep a steady supply for starter chicks and for birds transitioning to layers as they grow

What to expect in a month of feeding

The starter portion is designed to stay accessible for growing birds. A typical starter chick might use about 0.25 lb per chick each month, though consumption varies by breed and weather. Regular refills help maintain a consistent supply without encouraging overconsumption.

Sensory and quality notes

The material has a natural earthy texture with a subtle mineral scent. Its color ranges from pale beige to light granite tones, reflecting pure quartzite minerals that are suitable for coop use and routine feeding habits.

Quality and origin

Produced from 100% natural quartzite and mined in the USA, this grit provides a clean mineral base intended for standard poultry routines. Packaging is designed to help protect the grit from moisture during storage and transport.

Storage and handling tips

  • Store in a dry place away from moisture to prevent caking
  • Keep the grit in a dedicated container for easy access during feeding
