Have used the Versa laga + Redstone, that's ran out today so went to my local corn store & I've bought the Patagonia grit to try for a change.
Yes grit is very important & should be available for the pigeons.

Not keen on the Patagonia, always use the Versa Laga one with redstone also use normal pigeon grit along side it, don't know why I do that just always done it

A couple of people have said they really rate that
I buy beyers grit and mineral in a sack I think it’s about £22 for 20kg so works out pretty cheap and lasts ages

I use either Gem Matrix or the Vesa lagsa all in one mix. I do also like to have the good old Kilpatricks black minerals available at all times, as well as picstones. I know this is a bit of overkill, especially as my birds are on an open loft so spend a lot of time in the fields, but I do like to give them a choice and a bit of added interest, its surprising how the birds do have their own preferences.

That’s cheap compared to here
I buy beyers as 5kg of matrix is about £10 -12 when I last looked some time back
Is it just mixed grit Murray that you buy do you have to buy the minerals separately? I think I have seen it about £15 here could I could be wrong
