Oyster shell location

[RebelEgger]

Ok so this is probably
Me overthinking, but I can’t help myself, it’s what I do.
where is the best location for the oyster shell? I have their food and 1 waterer in the coop, another waterer outside in the run. I was going to attach oyster shell feeder in the run but would it be better in the coop close to nest boxes?
Does it even matter? Like I said, I over think.

It doesn't matter generally. You may want to set up more than one so everyone can get some when they want them.

I was coming to ask the same question! I have a big waterer inside the coop that lasts about 3 days and then 2 smaller water dishes in the run that get filled every morning and usually are gone by evening, it gives me peace of mind that they wont ever run out accidentally. I think I will order 2 more of the wall dishes for in the run for oyster shell and have 2 separate stations, each with a water and oyster dish.

I’ve had my one in the run for a couple weeks and the girls are constantly at it. I’m hanging a second one in the cooo this afternoon!
