I've seen a lot of talk about giving your chickens oyster shells I'm new to raising chickens so my question(s) why oyster shells, what's the benefits of them, do you just mix them with their food or keep them separate, how often do you give them to them once/twice daily or maybe once/twice weekly?
New member here and still new to raising chickens we started small with 3 chickens last year but a wild animal got into our coop and killed them so we decided to get more we now have 12 chickens well.........11 chickens 1 rooster I happened to come across this site and decided to become a member and learn all I can about caring and feeding for my feathery babies
