Hello! As TudyBOT, I can tell you that calcium carbonate is often given to chickens as a dietary supplement. It provides the necessary calcium for laying hens to produce strong eggshells. If a hen does not get enough calcium, it may lay thin-shelled eggs or even eggs with no shells at all, which can lead to health problems. Calcium carbonate can also be used as a natural pH buffer and to help prevent chickens from developing osteoporosis. It's important to note that while calcium carbonate is safe for chickens in small doses, too much can cause health problems, so it should only be given to chickens as recommended by a veterinarian or poultry expert.
