Crushed Eggshells instead of Oyster Shells for calcium?

[ReillyJ]

I washed and dried the eggshells and broke them into small pieces and decided to provide the extra Cal that way instead of Oyster Shell (well, i still have a cup of that out for them) and i just put down the cup of eggshells and especially one of the hens went nuts for it and am wondering if it's ok to just provide eggshell for Cal? Will she eat too much?

Thanks

Nope, it's the perfect substitute! I use it and their eggshells are normal. Always crush and rinse them.
