Too Little Calcium
Causes Soft Shells
Too little calcium in poultry feed may be to blame when hens lay soft-ehelled eggs.
This tip comes from W. H. Lyne county agent, who says soft-shellcounty agent, who says soft shells may result when birds fail to get enough calcium from oyster shell or limestone in their feed. He advises keeping oyster shell in seperate hoppers before birds at all times. Keep the hopper free of litter and accumulated fine oyster shell powder. Mash, and to a lesser extent, animal protein concentrates, normally contain some calcium.
Also listed as an important factor in producing sound egg shells is vitamin D. When short, cloudy winter days reduce the amount of this vitamin available from sunlight, oil or a dryvitamin D concentrate should be added to mash.
