Eaton Pet and Pasture Crushed Oyster Shells for Chickens, 2.27 kg Calcium Supplement

Eaton Pet & Pasture Crushed Oyster Shells are a 5 lb (2.27 kg) supplemental calcium source for laying hens, chickens, and ducks, designed to support strong eggshell formation.

• Crushed oyster shells provide natural calcium — a supplemental source for actively laying birds.
• Calcium supports eggshell formation — helping hens meet the calcium demands of egg production.
• Free-choice feeding — lets each bird regulate her supplemental calcium intake as needed.
• For chickens, ducks, and poultry — suitable for offering separately from regular feed.
• Harvested and processed in the USA — carefully processed for a consistent supplement.

Egg production uses significant calcium, so laying birds may need a supplemental source alongside their regular feed. These crushed shells are made for keepers who want to offer calcium separately and let each bird choose whether and how much to eat as needed. The 5 lb supply is intended for supplemental feeding, not as a replacement for regular feed.

How can crushed oyster shells support laying hens?

They provide supplemental calcium, an essential nutrient for eggshell formation. Offering a calcium source gives actively laying hens a way to supplement their nutritional needs during egg production. The shells are intended to support strong, healthy eggshells as part of a bird’s feeding routine; they are not a guarantee of a particular egg or production result.

• Made for supplemental calcium intake by actively laying birds.
• Supports the calcium needs associated with producing eggs.

How should I offer the oyster shells?

Place the crushed shells in a separate feeder apart from regular feed. This free-choice method allows each bird to regulate her own supplemental calcium intake as needed, rather than having the shells mixed into the main feed.

• Use a separate feeder for the shells.
• Keep the shells apart from regular feed when offering them.

Which birds are these shells for, and where are they made?
