Neighbor at the feed store in Boise said she mixes her own grit, got me wondering
I was standing in line at the feed store on State Street last Friday and the woman in front of me said she hasn't bought a bag of grit in 3 years because she crushes her own oyster shells with a hammer. She swore it saves her about $40 a year and the hens pick at it the same. Does anyone here make their own grit, or is that just asking for a mess in the driveway?
Ha, $40 a year? Is that really worth a driveway full of shell dust and a sore arm? I'd need to see those hens actually pecking at it before I believe the savings add up.
