I said thug.. you can't keep all the words in your basket of sensitivity.

you used nazi/thug in a previous post interchangeably. You are the one getting sensitive when ppl tell you not to use chicken wire and that oyster shell is not for digestion. Clearly just here to stir the pot, not learn. Have fun with that

And you are not me.

@Pickensandchigs Ok, getting back on track:

"Raising hens is a cheap and easy way to get fresh eggs."
"You need a rooster or your hens won't lay eggs."
"Just give them table scraps. No commercial feed needed."

Same for you.

Well this went down hill quick
I don't enjoy this site because of this kind of discussions.
I think it's time to pack up and move out

Of course it depends on only you, right?

Oyster shell will only dissolve in acidic conditions. Otherwise, oysters would not have shells.

The chicken gut is only weakly acidic. It is typically greater than pH 6.0.. In still water, shell would take a long time to dissolve at that pH.

But, dissolution is accelerated by first grinding the shell in the gizzard. Small particles dissolve faster than big chunks. I guess that pieces of shell grinding against other pieces of shell would speed things along.

Granite is also dissolved by acids, but much more slowly than shell.
