Chickens need to eat grit to help digest their food. Grit helps grind down the food the hens eat because as everyone knows, chickens don't have teeth. Oyster shell grit is used to provide poultry with enough calcium to produce strong bones and good egg shells. click the link below to buy direct from our website from just £4.99 https://www.redbrickpets.com/poultry-feed/p/1kg-poultry-grit-with-oystershell?fbclid=IwAR2IEy6fHbHg5hFBpReIsBQ8mOhdGUgYCGYjH9X2HNSuC8n8Xl-1qLP4L

Always have a small bowl of grit available for your hens, they will only take what they want/need. It provides calcium for bone and egg shell strength as well as feather growth.

Small birds have long been a popular choice of pet, and the quail is no exception. These little birds are easy to care for, full of personality, and fun to interact with, and they can provide you with eggs that are considered a delicacy in many parts of the world. These birds are largely ground-dwelling birds, and while some species can fly, they generally prefer to spend most of their time on the ground. They are quieter than chickens, and rarely bite, making them wonderful, egg-producing pets.
In the wild, quails feed on a variety of seeds, greens, and insects, As pets offer them leafy greens and Johnston & Jeff quail seed , as the name suggests, is specially formulated for these enchanting ground feeding birds.
Composition: yellow millet, pinhead oatmeal, j*p millet, plain canary seed, red millet, and vegetable oil.
Suitable for: Quails, Partridges and Chinese Painted Quails. Click the link below to buy direct from our website from £5.99
