Extra orster shell never hurts nothing but your laying pellets has shell in the pellets.so shell is allready there. i feed only laying pellets and garden scraps..if your hens get fat they will not lay every day..and never feed potato peeling to your chickens..don't ask me why ,i don't know but i've heard that all my life...lol

i have one nest per 5 chickens..hens slow down in this heat..i'm getting a little over 50% of my hens laying now..i get 80% to 90% during cooler weather in the spring & fall...clean fresh water in very important..
