    soft shells

    How soon after feeding them oyster shells will their eggs have a harder shell? Also, I thought that the feed had enough oyster shell in it to make their eggs have a hard shell, it that a misconception? Appreciate any thoughts on these questions

    Good Morning From SD

    Question for anyone out there. I was told my hens could be laying soon and they are still eating growers feed because I was told to feed them that until 20 weeks. My question is, "Will their eggs be soft beings they are still eating this feed?"
