So does the calcium have to be given every day?

Tell you the truth with my Red Hen Scratch mix it isnt an issue ...has heaps of natural calcium but because I am a chookaholic I do chuck in the odd handful of shell grit every couple of weeks but I also make my own probiotic yogurt and they love thatevery few days and as long as their shells are very hard all seems to be going ok...my sisters chooks are fed the cheapest scratch mix but given heaps of greens but she has soft eggs ....so there is definitely something to be said for adding calcium in...some people buy powdered calcium...

Sorry i am waffling and the answer to your question is, not every day...just balance their diet to suit the quality of the shell ( in my opinion that is ) xxxxxx
