Chicken oyster shell and grit for every age and stage.
Chickens don’t have teeth—but that doesn’t mean they don’t need help breaking down their food. That’s where grit comes in. It’s not just a supplement; it’s essential. Chicken Grit acts like teeth by helping your flock grind and crush food in their gizzard, aiding in smooth digestion and nutrient absorption.
Chickens self-regulate their grit intake—so don’t worry about offering too much. But if there’s none available when they need it? That’s where trouble can start. A lack of grit can lead to digestive blockages and overall health issues.

Let’s talk oyster shells—a game-changer for laying hens. Egg-layers work hard to produce strong, healthy eggs, so they need extra calcium. Oyster shells provide a slow-release, natural source of calcium that supports strong eggshell formation and helps prevent issues like soft or broken eggs. The best part? Hens that need the calcium boost will eat it; those that don’t simply won’t.
Small Pet Select offers clean, natural grit and premium oyster shells that are easy to serve to your chickens. No added fillers or unnecessary additives—just exactly what your flock needs to thrive. Sprinkle it in a dish, mix it into the run, or leave it out free-choice. However you serve it, you’re supporting happy digestion and healthier hens.
Healthy digestion, better egg production, and stronger chickens—all from two simple additions to your coop routine. Grit and oyster shell: your flock’s unsung heroes.
