Oyster shells offer several benefits for poultry:
- Calcium Source: Oyster shells are rich in calcium, which is an essential mineral for laying hens. Calcium is crucial for the formation of strong and healthy eggshells. Including oyster shells in the diet of laying hens ensures they have an adequate supply of calcium, reducing the risk of thin or fragile eggshells.
- Bone Health: Calcium is vital for maintaining strong bones in poultry. Oyster shells provide an additional source of calcium that supports proper bone development and strength, helping to prevent skeletal disorders and fractures.
- Nutrient Absorption: Adequate calcium intake promotes optimal nutrient absorption and utilization in poultry. It helps in the absorption of other essential minerals, such as phosphorus, and contributes to overall metabolic functions and immune system health.
- Prevents Calcium Deficiency: Calcium deficiency can lead to health problems in poultry, such as weak eggshells, leg disorders, and reduced egg production. Oyster shells help prevent calcium deficiency and its associated issues, ensuring the well-being of your flock.
- Natural and Safe: Oyster shells are a natural and safe source of calcium for poultry. They are minimally processed and free from harmful additives or chemicals, making them a reliable and wholesome supplement for your birds.

| Nutrena’s NatureWise Oyster Shell is a great addition to your flock’s daily nutrition. While your chickens are on a balanced layer feed, the hens may need some additional calcium to help benefit their eggs.
Laying hens need extra calcium to make sure that their eggs have sturdy and protective shells. Hens put roughly 20 times the amount of calcium into their eggs than into their bones, therefore extra calcium is often needed for flocks. Adding calcium to your flocks diet can reduce the risk of egg shells breaking, reduce the risk of bones breaking, and can help improve cardiovascular function.
