"I am sure this grit would be fine for adult geese or large ducks and turkeys but much too big for my hens. I will be sticking with Manna from now on."

— Danimal

"This is too large for chicken consumption. I used it for drainage in potted plants instead."

Bottom Line

If you have chickens, consider other grit options with smaller sizes. If you have larger poultry or goats, this might be a suitable choice.
