Oyster shell for ducks?

[Fuchsia]

Do my ducks need Oyster shell once they start laying? If so what do I get for them and Where?

Same place you get animal feed: farm store. Chickens and other birds need it too. If you have a female only flock you can skip the shell and buy layer feed, but you don't. Continue to feed them all-flock or whatever you are giving them now, and allow them to supplement with shell as needed.

Also, unless they eat nothing but pellets/crumbles make sure that you are giving them grit (which is not the same as shell). Birds don't have teeth and use grit to chew.
