My girls only like flaked oyster. I can only find it at one store, and it's a good hour away and is often out. Ugh. I hate it.
Someone on BYC (can't remember who, forgive me) has a mixed flock and occasionally puts out plain Greek yogurt with added calcium. I've recently started doing that. I'm not 100% sure how much of it my rooster eats, but I don't think it's enough to harm him. I hope.
Another BYCer mixes all flock with layer, so the calcium is increased for the females and diluted for the males. My flock had a rough spell earlier this year, so I switched to layer. All egg quality issues were resolved.
If only my rooster had been a girl like he was supposed to be...
