I changed from Reedy Fork Farm feed because it's tough to get. Got some Kalmbach Organic 17% Layer Crumbles Chicken Feed which they love. A couple of my good layers are dropping eggs from the perch and laying soft eggs now. The calcium is 3.5% - 4.5% listed on the bag. I put oyster shells out too but they don't really eat them. Is there something I need to add to their feed to help? I can give calcium citrate with D3, but I want to make sure they're food is giving them what they need too. I also have a rooster that eats with them, so I don't know how much they can have.
I ground up egg shells and added to their feed yesterday but I'm not sure that's going to be enough. I could do that regularly though while they're laying. Can I grind the oyster shells in a coffee grinder since they're not eating the crumbled one? I think the little rocks are too big. I will buy some flake, but for the time being I need to give them something they will eat.
They free range during the day and we give them fruit as treats along with tomatoes, kale and anything else we have in the garden.
