Flint or insoluble grit. Chickens donât have teeth, apparently, they are very rare, so to grind down their food, they use a strong muscular organ called a gizzard. Chickens pick up grit whilst foraging, which is kept for a while in the gizzard to perform this grinding process.
If you allow chickens to free-range, they should be able to find enough grit on the ground to peck at to satisfy their digestive system requirements. However, adding shell grit/ground up egg shells to your chickensâ diet is a great way to keep their calcium levels up.
