    How Often to Feed Egg Shells

    Honestly, I've wondered about how much of the feed that they waste :/ And thinking maybe they aren't getting the nutrients they need from the feed because so much is in the "fines". Frustrating. I have done a mash from time to time with the fines, but not sure they are getting the daily amount...

    How Often to Feed Egg Shells

    Oh! I had no idea about that :o So are pellets better to feed? They waste SO much of the S&P layer feed :/ We did make them one of those 5 gallon bucket feeders and it's better, but they still don't eat the fines :(

    How Often to Feed Egg Shells

    I really try to not give a lot of treats, I mean they get the egg shells daily, but other stuff too. Like yesterday I gave them 10 strawberry tops and the egg shells and that was all they got. Some days all the extra they get is the egg shells. But yeah I'll definitely watch the treats, I...

It's Scratch and Peck Layer feed. I also have oyster shell out all the time for them and just started...

    How Often to Feed Egg Shells

    I've been saving our shells to feed back to my flock to help them get enough calcium and they gobble them up :D Question-how often can I give them the shells? We probably use 2-3 eggs a day on average, weekends are more, so do I give them every day, every other day?
