Do Your Chickens Need Grit
"Do chicken's have lips?" is a sarcastic expression that is used to answer any rhetorical question. However, one could just as easily say "Do chicken's have teeth?" because they obviously don't.
That brings us to the topic at hand today -- chicken grit. Grit is mixture of small pebbles or crushed stones that chickens eat in order to help them digest their food. They need grit because chicken's don't have teeth and are not able to chew their food to aid digestion. Instead, they pass the food into an organ called the gizzard where it is ground up.
