[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 7171618, member: 5764"] Here I get a 36% protein crumble option meant to mix in with whole grains. Bit better balance than just the 17% layer crumble mixed straight in. In the summer they don’t tend to eat as much when they’re out foraging but it’s still available. In the winter and times when they need higher protein, like moult, I definitely up the availability and offer other goodies like BOSS, cat food, meal worms, hamburger, etc. There isn’t a product here that combines grit and oyster shell so I just buy them separate. Not expensive and the bags last a lifetime. I just fill up some bird feeders with them. The organ ImLost is talking about is the gizzard. Their crop just holds the food, it’s also called the grain bag or grain sack. Birds don’t actually have stomachs, the food goes from the crop, to the gizzard, into the intestines. When butchering you can cut open the gizzard and find all sorts of little rock’s in it. [/QUOTE]
