The gizzard is a muscular part of the stomach that uses grit to grind grains and fiber into smaller particles.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_for_a_chicken_to_digest_its_food\"><\/span>How long does it take for a chicken to digest its food?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The crop provides a place to store the quickly eaten food until later, when the birds get to a protected area and can digest in peace.
