5 lb

$23.99

Give your laying hens access to the calcium they need with Eaton Pet & Pasture Premium Crushed Oyster Shells. A naturally rich source of calcium, our crushed oyster shells help support strong eggshells, healthy laying hens, and consistent egg production. Carefully processed for quality and consistency and made in the USA, they’re designed to be offered free choice so each hen can consume additional calcium according to her individual needs.

  • Supports Strong Eggshells: Calcium plays an essential role in eggshell formation. Offering crushed oyster shells gives laying hens access to supplemental calcium to help support strong, healthy eggshells.
  • Excellent Source of Calcium: Our Premium Crushed Oyster Shells provide a naturally rich source of calcium to help supplement the nutritional needs of actively laying hens.
  • Helps Support Healthy Laying Hens: Egg production requires significant amounts of calcium. Providing a free-choice calcium source allows hens to supplement their diet as needed while supporting their overall health and productivity.
  • Made for Free-Choice Feeding: Simply offer oyster shells in a separate feeder and allow your hens to consume them as needed. Keeping them separate from your flock's regular feed allows each hen to regulate her own supplemental calcium intake.
  • Carefully Processed for Quality & Consistency: Our oyster shells are carefully processed to provide a consistent, high-quality calcium supplement you can feel good about offering your flock.
  • Perfect Companion to Your Layer Feed: Even when feeding a nutritionally complete layer feed, providing oyster shells separately gives laying hens the opportunity to consume additional calcium based on their individual needs.
  • Made in the USA: Our Premium Crushed Oyster Shells are harvested and processed in the USA, giving your flock a quality calcium source you can trust.
  • Farmer-Owned: Eaton Pet & Pasture was born on our founder’s farm in Upstate New York. As a farmer-owned company, we create products with the same care and standards we expect for our own animals. From our flock to yours, that’s The Eaton Way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do laying hens need oyster shells?

Laying hens use significant amounts of calcium to produce eggshells. Crushed oyster shells provide an additional source of calcium that helps support strong eggshells, healthy hens, and consistent egg production.

How should I feed oyster shells to my chickens?

Offer Premium Crushed Oyster Shells free choice in a separate feeder rather than mixing them directly into your chickens' feed. This allows each laying hen to consume additional calcium according to her individual needs. Always provide fresh, clean water.

Do I need to offer oyster shells if I already feed a layer feed?

Oyster shells can still be offered separately when feeding a complete layer feed. Providing a free-choice calcium source allows individual laying hens to supplement their calcium intake based on their needs.

At what age should chickens have access to oyster shells?

Oyster shells are intended as a calcium supplement for laying hens. They generally should be offered when pullets reach laying age or begin producing eggs rather than being given to young chicks that do not have the same calcium requirements.
