Elite Calci-Grit 2kg – High-Grade Calcium Grit for Poultry, Parrots & Pigeons

Elite Calci-Grit 2kg: High-Grade Calcium Grit for Birds

Elite Calci-Grit is a high-grade calcium grit that gives poultry, parrots and pigeons a natural source of calcium to help support strong bones and, in laying hens, good eggshell quality. This 2kg pack is offered free-choice in a separate dish, so birds take what they need, which is the simplest way to make sure they're getting enough calcium alongside their regular feed. It's made in Australia by Elite Pet Products.

Calcium is one of the most important minerals for laying birds, since forming eggshells draws heavily on a hen's calcium. When they're short, you see the results in the shells: thin shells, soft shells or shell-less eggs. Keeping calcium grit available helps prevent those problems, and it can also curb hens pecking at and eating their own eggs, a habit they often start when they're trying to make up a calcium shortfall.

How to Use It

For birds, place a small amount of Calci-Grit in a separate dish alongside their normal feed, and let them help themselves, since birds self-regulate their calcium intake. Keep the dish topped up and clean, and make sure fresh water is always available. It's offered free-choice rather than mixed into the feed, so the birds take what they need when they need it, which matters most for hens in lay.

For turtles, add a small amount to their water environment to help support shell hardening.
