Provide Supplemental Calcium (Oyster Shell)

Solution

Offer crushed oyster shell or limestone grit in a separate container for laying hens.

Explanation

Laying hens require significant calcium for eggshell formation, often more than what's in standard layer feed. Providing it separately allows hens to consume extra calcium as needed.

Notes

Do not mix calcium directly into the feed; let hens self-regulate. Start offering around the time they begin laying.
