CALCIUM - is not only needed for making strong eggshells, but it is also used to support the circulatory system, the nervous system, the cardiac system, and the digestive system of the laying hen. Egg shells are 95% calcium so it’s no wonder they need to have a high calcium diet when they are pushing out one egg each day! Returning the eggs to your chickens is a great way to give back calcium or also picking up a calcium supplement for them to choose freely. GRIT- also super important as it helps the chickens to digest food! Chickens don’t have any teeth and therefore can not grind down food so having grit readily available allows them to store these tiny little stones and pebbles in their gizzard to help aid in digestion. When they don’t have access to grit they could end up with digestive blockages and even death! Remember these two items for your coop and you’ll have a healthy flock! #chickens #backyardchickens #buttnuggets #healthyflock #keepingchickens #diychickencoop #chickeneducation | Samantha Lilly | Lesfm & Olexy · Flow
