We have 7 layers that have been laying for a couple months now.
We have had two shell-less eggs dropped from the roost over night and a few thin shelled eggs in nests.
Our local feed store was out of oyster shell so we got feed with it included.
I think we have been over doing the "treats".
They LOVE the pepper leaves from the garden, which they were getting nearly every day.
They LOVE a wheelbarrow full of worm loaded compost, which they were getting nearly every day.
They LOVE the tomato scraps and any other garden scraps I throw out, again, every day.
Also they get scratch several times a day.
Is this enough calcium?
Should we stop everything and just go with the feed for a while?
Should we supplement egg shell?
