Supports Eggshell Strength

Calcium is a vital macro mineral for poultry, essential in developing strong bones and eggshells. Shellgrit is a readily available source of calcium which poultry can consume to maintain good productivity and health.

Aids Digestion

Shell grit acts as a natural grit source, helping chickens grind and digest their food more effectively, improving nutrient absorption and supporting overall digestive health in your flock. Suitable for various poultry and aviary birds, making it a valuable addition to any bird’s diet.

All your questions answered

Can I feed my chickens too much shellgrit?

So long as you provide the Shellgrit in a bowl out of the weather where poultry have free access to it, you should not have any issues with overdosing on shellgrit. Chickens are able to regulate their own intake and will freely choose to supplement themselves with calcium when they need to. However, if you do notice soft egg shells or identify a calcium deficiency, we advise temporary use of Nesty Calci boost to fix severe deficiencies.

Can I feed Shellgrit and Nesty Calci Boost at the same time?

It is not advised to feed two calcium sources at the same time as it could result in an overdose. Feed Nesty Calci Boost when a known calcium deficiency is present and feed shellgrit as a top up in between.

What is Shellgrit made out of?

Nesty Shellgrit is made from limestone that is then formed into the shape of shells. It is highly soluble and an excellent source of calcium.

What happens if my Shellgrit gets wet, is it still safe to feed?

If your Shellgrit gets soiled, dispose of it and replace with fresh Shellgrit.

Can poultry other than chickens consume Shellgrit?

Yes, Shellgrit is a safe and soluble source of calcium that can be provided to all poultry.

What results could I see from feeding Shellgrit?
