 This is fed to chickens on an occasional basis. Grit helps in the digestion of food.

A protein-rich feed that has one sole purpose: accelerated growth. This is primarily fed for commercially grown chickens.

The composition of nutrients in this feed is to aid in the egg development of the laying hens. High in calcium.  

Never deny a chicken (or a human) a good slice of pizza.
