Is is safe to offer the Layena or Oyster shell to a mixed age group of chickens. I have 17 week olds and 6 week olds together. I thought I read somewhere that the calcium was bad for younger ones.
The extra calcuim from the Layena and oyster shell is not good for chicks/pullets that are not laying. It can cause kidney problems among others.
