Ok thanks! Am I able to provide oyster shell for my chickens who are not laying yet?

Am I able to provide oyster shell for my chickens who are not laying yet?

Yes, as long as the oyster shell is in a dish by itself. Do not mix it with food or grit or anything else.

The chickens will probably all eat a bit to see what it is, and after that each chicken will generally eat the amount she needs (more for the layers, less or none for the ones not laying yet.)

The good news is - this is probably not a case of egg eating, as they would not have stopped with that little peck.

You could ask him if he can give you a copy of the label, or direct you to the manufacturer's website, or something like that.

Yes, really need to know what your birds are eating.
