Description

Give your laying hens the calcium boost they need with Mile Four Oyster Shell from Hatching Time. This natural supplement is essential for stronger eggshells, bone health, and consistent egg production.

Since chickens don’t have teeth, they naturally consume grit and oyster shell to aid digestion and strengthen their eggs. Without sufficient calcium, eggshells become thin and fragile, leading to breakage and poor egg quality. Supplementing with Mile Four Oyster Shell ensures your flock maintains healthy, productive laying.

Made from 100% natural, untreated crushed oyster shell and limestone, this calcium source offers both immediate and sustained release:

  • Fine Particles: Deliver a quick calcium boost when needed.
  • Coarse Particles: Provide slow, consistent absorption, especially beneficial overnight when eggs are forming.

Chickens instinctively consume oyster shell as needed, preventing overeating. Even if your flock is free-range, supplementing with high-quality oyster shell ensures they get the calcium needed for strong eggshells and sturdy bones.

Why Choose Mile Four Oyster Shell?

Mile Four Oyster Shell is the ultimate natural calcium supplement for laying hens, promoting stronger eggshells, bone health, and consistent egg production.

This organic, natural calcium booster is made from 100% natural, untreated crushed oyster shell and limestone, sourced from US mines. The blend of fine and coarse particles ensures immediate and sustained calcium release:
