ajm200 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi everyone, my girls are currently having the fine oyster shell that I use for the budgies as they are quite small and young - no sign of combs yet. Will they be OK with the large hen sized shell later or should I keep them in the fine stuff? The hen-sized grit that I had for my big girls is almost gone but the bits are larger than pellets so thinking it may be too big for Pekins Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Growers and younger birds don't need oystershell calcium as the calcium can affect their bone growth, they'd be fine without while they're just on crumb/growers but if you want to use something, get chick flint grit. Once they are laying they can have mixed grit with oystershell for calcium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If you feed grit that's too fine to full-sized birds, it will just pass through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
