Product Description

Maintain your flock's health with Scratch and Peck Feeds Oyster Shell, an essential calcium supplement designed specifically for laying hens and ducks. As poultry begin their laying cycle, their bodies require increased levels of calcium to produce consistent, high-quality eggs. This premium supplement provides a pure, natural source of calcium that helps prevent issues like soft, thin, or brittle eggshells, ensuring your hens maintain optimal productivity and vitality throughout the season.

Sustainably sourced and flaked, these oyster shells are clean and free from unnecessary fillers, bleach, or synthetic additives. Unlike standard feed, this supplement serves as a targeted mineral boost that chickens and ducks can consume on an as-needed basis. It is a vital addition for backyard homesteaders looking to support long-term hen health and improved eggshell integrity. Whether you are managing a small coop or a larger flock, incorporating this high-quality mineral source helps your birds thrive and produce sturdier, healthier eggs naturally.

FAQ

Q1. What does oyster shell do for chickens?

Ans: Oyster shell provides a highly bioavailable source of calcium. This mineral is essential for laying hens to build strong, thick eggshells and supports the overall skeletal health of the poultry.

Q2. How much oyster shell do I need to feed my chickens?

Ans: It is best to provide oyster shell 'free choice' in a separate container. This allows the hens to self-regulate and consume the amount of calcium their bodies need based on their individual laying rates and environmental conditions.

Q3. Is oyster shell a substitute for grit?

Ans: No, oyster shell is not a substitute for grit. While oyster shell is absorbed by the body for calcium, grit stays in the gizzard to help the birds mechanically digest whole grains and feed.

Q4. Are these Scratch and Peck Feeds products authentic?

Ans: Yes. Rudra Retails exclusively imports authentic USA-sourced pet and poultry products directly, ensuring you receive the genuine Scratch and Peck Feeds quality for your flock.

Q5. What is the best source of calcium for chickens?

Ans: Crushed oyster shell is widely considered the gold standard for supplemental calcium in poultry diets due to its purity, natural sourcing, and the slow-release nature of its calcium content.
