Chicken Slide...... do people still offer crushed oyster shells to their hens, to promote good shells on the eggs? Back in the 70s when I was the chicken-raising girl on our farm, we offered them oyster shells. Just curious.

Oyster shells might be a regional thing but any convenient source of calcium can’t hurt. The cluckers know. they will pick/peck and chooze.
