    Can you crush your own oyster shell?? and save $$$

    It is cheap! I use so little just thought it would give my sons and I another chicken activity. Ha ha What about O shell for grit?? Is it sufficient for laying hens?

    home-made grit

    I seem to use so little shell is why I wanted to crush my own. Good call on the 10 bucks!

    Can you crush your own oyster shell?? and save $$$

    Well the ingredeints on my farm store bought bag just say OYSTER SHELL. So I thought if its pure crushed shell I can do that. I was curious about the age of a shell? Say I just grabbed one from the seafood shack parking lot. Still an OYSTER SHELL. Wonder if it looses any of its calcium value...

    Any reason why I can't take an oyster shell in a sock or screen and give it the sledge hammer? Heading to the beach next week for vacation and thinking about bringing home a few shells for the girls. Anybody?

    Free range question

    Quote: This is all good news.... I've been wanting to try to let my birds out but I'm scared... So it sounds like its a natural intstict to stay pretty close to home/coop??? Not to run wild and never return.

    How much do you pay for organic chicken feed?

    What makes or doesnt make it organic? Of coarse no pesticides. I buy feed from a local farmer that mixes his own "layer" feed. 15.75 per 100lbs I often wonder whats the difference in the so called "organic" eggs????
