I've separated the oyster shell. None of them seem to be interested in it ever. I've noticed at the end of most days, that's what is left. Should I crush it or try another brand?

What a wonderful space you have!

If you are feeding layer pellets, those usually have sufficient calcium for most actively laying pullets/hens. The oyster shell is supplemental for those that need extra calcium. I would just make it available, they will take what they need.

They all are 5 1/2 months old including the Rooster. He's a good rooster. He can get grumpy or feisty when there are eggs in the nest but not towards them just me.

Looks like a great space for them!

Has anything else changed recently? Our temperatures dropped about 20 degrees this week. From hot and humid, to a bit chilly! I expect it might change some laying behavior. Or even a lurking predator could have scared them?
Just tossing out thoughts...

Thank you soooo much everyone. I really do appreciate it. Hoping tomorrow goes better.
