Laying hens need oyster shell for the calcium to help them make egg shells. I buy it by the pound but you can also purchase it in 50lb bags. My oyster shell comes from the local to us (Portland, OR) Urban Farm Store or Concentrates. Where do you get your oyster shells and when should I start giving it to the pullets, who are about 14-weeks old? I should clarify, my kids put the pine shavings and poo in the compost. Don’t put the fresh pine shavings and poo directly on your plants. The pine shavings/poo mixture needs to work through the compost before you add it to your garden. When cleaning the chicken coop, just take all the pine shavings and chicken poo and put it right into you compost bin. Were do you get your oyster shells and when should I start giving it to the pullets, who are about 14-weeks old?
