Title: mixed grit
Post by: Jonny on February 06, 2011, 06:27:26 pm

i was wondering if mixed grit should be scattered around the area for the hens to find themselves or if it should left in a feeder inside the coop where the hens will know where it is?

Unless you fix the grit container securely, the hens will scatter it themselves any way. Mine do  :)
