Without enough calcium, hens can suffer from weakened bones and soft-shelled or misshapen eggs. Our high-quality oyster shells ensure your birds stay healthy and productive.

Why Not Just Use Eggshells?

While some chicken owners feed back crushed eggshells, studies show this may not provide a consistent or adequate calcium source. Worse, it can encourage egg-eating behavior. Crushed oyster shells are a safer, more effective solutiongiving your hens the calcium they crave without the risks.

Directions for Use:

Provide free access in a separate feeder or mix approximately 1-2 tablespoons per hen into their layer feed. Always offer fresh water and a balanced diet alongside calcium supplements.
