- Necessary For Digestion - Made up of insoluble crushed quartzite or granite, grit remains in the bird’s gizzard to help with digestion. Grit is an essential part of your bird’s diet and should always be provided.
- Age to Give - Start day 1 through 8 weeks of age. Broiler chicks from day 1 to 4 weeks. This helps establish correct feeding habits by sprinkling grit over their feed mash for the first week and then offer it free choice in a separate container.
- Available In Different Sizes - Scratch and Peck Feeds Cluckin’ Good Poultry Grit is available in three convenient sizes: Chick, Grower, and Layer. We recommend you transition to our Grower Grit from 8 weeks to 20 weeks.

How this ranking is built — and what it does not claim
Star ratings and rating counts read from each product’s public Amazon page; ranking also uses Best Sellers Rank and Amazon’s review ordering. We show the aggregate star rating and count only — never individual reviewers’ words.
Each product's customer standing score blends these inputs:
- Star rating (45%) — the product's real average rating on Amazon, weighted by how many people rated it (a 5★ from 12 buyers counts for less than a 4.6★ from 3,000).
- Best Sellers Rank (25%) — how many units actually move, on a log scale.
- Catalogue relevance (15%) — how central the product is to the search a keeper would run.
- Live discount (10%) and Amazon's review ordering (5%).
Products that surface in both Amazon's review-ranked and relevance-ranked results earn a corroboration bonus — that overlap is the strongest signal available that a well-regarded product is also the right one for the job.
On the star ratings: we read the aggregate star rating and rating count shown publicly on each product's Amazon page — the two summary numbers, nothing more. We never reproduce an individual reviewer's words, and a product with no rating on Amazon is shown without one rather than with a guessed figure.
