Oyster Shell Layer Grade (50 lb bag)

Oyster Shell - One of the Best Sources of Calcium for Laying Hens

Pacific Pearl Oyster Shell is one of the most effective and natural sources of calcium for poultry. Trusted by commercial and backyard flock owners alike, over 30 million West Coast laying hens consume this product daily to support strong eggshell formation and long-term health.

This 50 lb bag of feed-grade oyster shell is specifically formulated for laying hens, ducks, and other egg-producing poultry, offering a coarse texture that digests slowly for better calcium absorption throughout the day.

Key Benefits:

  • Improves Eggshell Quality – Reduces soft shells, undergrades, and egg loss
  • Supports Long Lay Cycles – Helps maintain production during peak laying periods
  • Free Choice Feeding – Birds self-regulate intake as needed
  • Slow-Release Absorption – Coarse granules allow gradual calcium uptake
  • Economical for Large Flocks – 50 lb bag provides a long-lasting supply

Feeding Directions:

Incorporate 3–5% of total ration from the start of lay, or offer free choice in a separate feeder to allow hens to supplement as needed.

Why Calcium Matters:

Calcium is critical for eggshell development and bone health in laying poultry. Deficiency can lead to shell deformities, weak bones, and decreased production. Oyster shell offers a natural, digestible source that supports healthy, consistent egg laying without synthetic additives.

Not for Garden Use

While oyster shell can have benefits as a soil amendment, this product is formulated specifically as a feed supplement for poultry, not for gardening or pest control purposes.

    I mix this with the scratch and the girls eat it up. The eggs are very big and strong. Easy to store in a bin and just toss out to the girls.
