First-time chicken keeper with 4 Delawares in South Bend Washington.

Hello, welcome to BYC! I switched from a cheapo oyster shell to Small Pet Select Flaked Oyster Shell. I can see a big difference in egg shell quality. They actually eat the SPS oyster shell. They've eaten more in 4 months than they did of the other kind, in 4 years.

Welcome to BYC. You might want to reduce the treats to 10% or less of diet.

Thanks. I'll try this. Is there any relationship between protein/calcium in a ratio affecting shell formation?
