Won’t the rooster eat the calcium on the side too?

We'll try it once or twice because Birds explore the world with their beaks. Then he won't eat it. Which is why it needs to be in a separate dish instead of mixed in with the food. Our little dinosaurs are plenty stupid, don't get me wrong. But eating oyster shell is not nearly as attractive to them as eating too many sunflower seeds.

He'll taste it, but instinct will tell him not to eat too much.

Pure Cane on the bag sugar. Sugar beets almost everywhere else you see sugar on a label. Because Corn Syrup is *usually* disclosed as corn syrup.

because we humans will pay a price premium for some ingredients, in pure form - but much less of one when the ingredient is one of many.

On rare occasions the parent compound is relevant to the end user.
To most of us, it's a minor point, but if the smell of fresh popcorn sets off allergies, you don't want corn syrup in your food.

which is also to above list of 'sugar'
I believe the FDA has a thing against calling anything not made from either beets or cane 'sugar'
It is declared as such, and often the sub-forms of sugar (there are many) are listed.

Idk, I said I can’t separate them so idk how only the hens are going to eat oyster shell. I dont have a way to separate them so that the rooster can’t eat the oyster shell.

NO Need to. After trying it to figure out what it is, the rooster will ignore it.

So, the hens will know they need it, and the rooster won’t eat it?

Exactly.

Exactly.

See Above. Depends upon how much for how long beginning at what age.
