It will provide some calcium but I doubt you have a steady enough supply to supply the needs of laying hens... Crushed oyster shells are about $10 for a 50lb bag, so it's hardly worth the hassle, although if you are really cheap crushed limestone can be bought for about $15 a ton from most gravel pits and that should be a lifetime supply of poultry calcium for most
hehe... I wonder how much space a ton of limestone would take up in my backyard?
