Quote:The stuff I use I buy at tractor supply store. Did not know a synthetic was available. You can also grind up the shells and feed them back to the chooks by sprinkling it on top of their feed or in oatmeal/boiled rice, etc. I sprinkle the crushed shells on top of their feed in the trough and they get it whether they want it or not.
