At about 10:30 this morning (October 24, 2015), in Oklahoma, a crowd of people congregated to watch the State University homecoming parade. Suddenly, a car struck a police motorcycle, then drove straight into the crowd. As a result of this, 3 people were killed and 34 others injured.
For birds that are laying large numbers of eggs, an easy and high calcium supplement is dried egg shell ground to a powder and added to their normal feed. Layer pellets are supplemented with calcium as well. Soft or thin shelled eggs may indicate calcium problems in your birds.
A dry chicken eggshell is about 78-94% calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Calcium carbonate gives shells hardness and strength. Laying chickens need about 4 grams of calcium a day to produce quality eggs (source: Butcher, Concepts of Eggshell Quality).Note that Mealworms are calcium depleting.reparation: It is probably a good idea to sterilize chicken eggshells first, in case they are contaminated with bacteria. They will also break up more easily if dried. You can do it in the oven or microwave. Don't overcook them, as they will turn brown and smell like burnt popcorn. 1  Rinse the shells, break in half.
