therealshari	Posted - Jul 25 2008 : 10:49:49 AM We didn't start feeding egg shells until after they had produced some eggs. Even now, they only get about 10% of the shells they produce, and we still have very strong shells. Be sure to look at the label on your feed and see if there is "calcium added" in any form. If you're feeding "refuse", cottage cheese, yogurt, oyster shells, shrimp shells, etc are all sources of calcium, too. Shari Thomas Got lambs? Got fleece? We do, and you can too!
