For what it's worth here's the definition of "Soluble"
sol·u·ble (s l y -b l). adj. 1. That can be dissolved, especially easily dissolved: soluble fats. 2. Possible to solve or explain: soluble mysteries.
DO NOT toss Oyster Shell grit on the floor of the coop , run or yard. It will simply be wasting grit. Once it gets wet it's gone.
Further at $10 a 50# bag that is not cheap to me. Chickens will knock it out of the dish.
As for recycling your egg shells? That's a smart thing. I personally keep a can near the stove and when it's full crush them up and toss them in with the scratch.
As for Osyster shell I like to toss a handful into the feeder with the pellets. You could also mix it with crumbles if that is what you use. It is not necessary to have oyster shells "on demand".
As for Gran i Grit, I like to toss this under the feeders. If I put it in a dish they just knock it over, though I do have two small feeders attached to the wall of the run.
My point is don't be fooled into thinking you can toss the Soluble oyster shell grit on the floor. Once it gets wet by whatever means it is gone.
I wish you well,
Rancher
