Pacific Pearl Oyster Shell will promote strong egg shells and skeletal strength in poultry when added to their feed by giving them a source of calcium. These highly digestible shells are sized to increase solubility and availability in the digestive system. They are less dense than limestone and it stays longer in the gizzard ensuring a greater absorption of calcium. It will also reduce egg loss, extend the length of the lay cycle, reduce manure moisture and improve fly control. An ideal supplement that will help you get optimal production from your layers.
Oyster shells are an excellent source of calcium to aid in forming egg shells. Reduces undergrades, egg loss, and extends the length of the lay cycle. Compared to oystershell from the southeastern us coast, this shell is a more digestible type. Sized specifically for solubility, availability, and retention time in the gizzard. Use 3-5% of ration from start of production. Lay Shell Blend features a variation of shell sizes from 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch, blended together for a uniform shell mix. Promotes optimum dietary calcium utilization for enhancing eggshell quality in layers. Available in 50 lb. bags.

Providing a chicken layer feed with OYSTER SHELLS helps ensure your hens have enough calcium to lay strong eggshells, which are better able to keep bacteria out and help improve the safety of farm fresh eggs. 

An egg once held the weight of a 200-pound man. Though small in stature, farm fresh eggs have big power. Their shells provide homes to growing chicks and shield yolks from harmful bacteria. But how can a structure that’s only 0.3 millimeters thick provide so much security? The answer comes down to design. 
 
Architects through the ages have modeled buildings after the dome, the shape that defines egg strength. A dome offers strength and protection; any pressure applied to the top of the dome is spread throughout the structure. This simple power makes the egg one of nature’s leading designs.
