gray flaked oyster shell - where to find?

[CoriM]

For the past year I have had trouble finding this - it seems to be out of stock almost everywhere. I used to be able to get a 50# bag for about $25 and now I can only find 4# bags for almost $10 - yikes! Anyone have a good source?

Do you have a local feed mill? If so, they may stock it - that's where I get mine.

 

[CoriM]

No, I don't know of one. Thanks for the idea though!

Wow that is pricey! I get my oyster shells from someone who sells shellfish. Granted, I live in Florida, so this may be easier said than done depending on your location.

Me too! Florida is so great.

And good luck with your search! That price increase is insane!

Have you tried Ace hardware in Carnation? I'm not sure what their cost is, but I know they used to stock it. I think it was maybe $1/pound before.

Thanks Kale, I'll check there! Do you remember if they carry the gray flakey ones? My ducks won't eat the white pebble ones

Scratch and Pecks went up to ,$19 for 4 lbs. My girls will need to learn to eat the pebbles.

Wow, that's way more than I'm finding here in WA state. I thought $10 was outrageous! Maybe I need to try crushing their egg shells.....

I do crush their shells and feed them back, though I also supplement.
