What age should i start feeding my Chickens oyster shells? And has anyone here made their own? Any tips or tricks would be helpful. Thanks :)
 
Not before they start laying, and if by feeding it to them you mean mixing it in their food, that's not a good idea. Offer it separately.
 
The ground oyster shell is a source of calcium. If you are offering layer feed, it will have sufficient calcium in it.

When I had some layers and some pullets, I had oyster shell in a dish on the side of the feeder. The older girls could get the calcium and the young ones had feed without calcium.
