It doesn’t specify if it’s non gmo or not and I wanna be sure that I’m giving the ducks oyster shells that won’t harm them in any way.

I dont have ducks, but these are what I feed my girls, and I haven’t had a problem.

I tried these with my chickens, no ducks as well, they wouldn't touch them. Now I give them oyster shell flakes from Scratch & Peck

Sounds good. I heard some breeds have more trouble than others.

Be careful with those. I found actual shards of steel wool on the one and only bag of Manna Pro's 50lb oyster shells I purchased. I'm not talking just one piece the bag was absolutely littered with pieces of metal. I don't know if it was a bad batch or what, but never again will I allow those oyster shells anywhere near my ducks.

I never found those. Now I’m wondering about their quality. Yuck!

Could have just been my bag, but since even one little metal shard could kill a duck I don't trust them

Could have just been my back, but since even one little metal shard could kill a duck I don't trust them

Totally agreed.

Totally agreed.

Which brand do y’all recommend? I only have 2 hens, so i wouldn’t need a humongous bag of oyster shells.

Ooh. I use this brand and have never had issues. I would have contacted the manufacturer and taken it back to the store.
