I feel ya!

I just put egg shells or oyster shells in my feeder, along with their food to get them to eat it. At the end of my hens laying season, I found a few soft eggs, but I think that is just from their body's slowing down. I tried putting oyster shells and egg shells in a bowl for them to peck at...
