Dawn, Your chickens need both grit and oyster shell. They are used for different purposes by your chicken's bodies.

We provide Oyster shell in a hanging pet feeder on the wall of our chicken coop all year round to our layers. They can eat what they want when they want. We just keep the feeder with some in it. It seems to work great.
This year with our pullets we put grit into the hanging feeder for them until they started laying then we switched it to oyster shell.
