Feeding a flock with a Rooster

[Blue_Myst]

I know this may sound like a dumb question, but if I have a flock with a rooster, do I need to feed them something else in place of laying mash? I've only ever had hens, so I'm clueless about this. I'm assuming the extra calcium will be bad for the rooster?

Thanks for any advice you can offer!

The calcium in the Layer won't hurt the male at all but not feeding some sort of added calcium would be bad for the hens. Go ahead & feed the Layer.

Oh, good! That's a huge relief. Thank you

I had been told the opposite. THe extra calcium can cause problems for the health of the rooster. I guess it depends how much the rooster means to you and your flock. I feed Game Bird 15% and offer oyster shell. They dont touch the shell and my egg shells are as hard as ever.
