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.
While layer feed contains some calcium, an additional source of calcium such as crushed oyster shells should be made available to laying hens in a separate dish, apart from the feed, NOT in the feed. All laying hens have different calcium requirements and will consume as much oyster shell as they need.
