amys garden Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My three girls have been with us for a week now and settling in nicely As we live near the South Downs there is a plentiful supply of free chalk Can I use this instead of oyster shell and when should I start giving my newbies a calcium supplement ?

Redwing Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi They dont need any extra calcium, layers pellets will give them all they need They do need grit though and this is normally sold with added oyster shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
