Omlet Eglu Cube and large run for sale

We live near a beach and recently picked up 40+ pieces of cuttlefish bone.

 

We were wondering whether this calcium rich bone, might be a useful substitute/addition to our chooks diet. We usually boil it up to remove any germs/bacteria and have used it to feed our giant African land snails in the past.

 

We feed the chooks layers pellets, which i know is meant to be a complete food but i was wondering if there were any known issues with cuttlefish??

our local pet shop man gave us a load of broken cuttlefish bones for the chooks once. i ground them up with some baked egg shell and we added some to the girls' food for a while. Didn't do them any harm and I wouldn't have done it had the pet shop man not recommended it.

 

He told us to come back any time and ask for any broken bits.

 

They have oyster shell so i didn't see any harm in giving them cuttlefish.

Thanks for the info and the link to the other thread.

 

I figure that because we're able to give boiled beach cuttlefish to our snails (who clearly wouldn't appreciate salt), then it should be ok for the ladies.
