I always thought they were kinda neat. I feed dried and crushed eggshells separately, so I reckon the theory Julia mentions is just that, a theory. Seems more frequent with older hens. Everything else is looking good.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993776238858188488.post-28933681599853452252012-07-17T19:35:37.626-07:002012-07-17T19:35:37.626-07:00Hmmm.

Our feed doesn't have added ground up calcium that I know of -- we offer oyster shell...<br /><br />BUT, I'll go have a look and see if maybe I'm missing something.

They aren't a big deal bit switching feed will help if they bother you.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077677066902349111noreply@blogger.com
