I don't often see mine eating it either, but was shocked to see my old rooster eating it. I figured his old bones must've been telling him he needed some. They're on an all-flock feed and that's lower calcium. There's a dish in each of the breeding pens and I have to fill it up about once every couple of months is all, but they do eat it.They do have access to oyster but I never see them eat it. I also have grit next to it as well. They do free range all day though. I do give them a calcium supplememt. But since Reddy hadn't been feeling well she wont eat the vitamins.
We use the vitamins for their water, like Poultry Cell or Nutri-Drench. Reddy drinks, right? If not, you'd have to syringe some to her by just dripping it to the side of her beak.
