Lime In Oyster Shells

The oyster shell theory is a fact. One pound of shells contains sufficient lime to manufacture dozens of eggs. The only proper way to feed them is to have a small box within roach so the fowls can help themselves at will. Mixing the shells In the morning mash is a risky job, as a fowl is apt to thus- consume more than she will need, and the shells of the egg become too hard.
