I think Pip (who I treated for salpingitis) is still laying no-shell eggs from the roost. Or getting off the roost and dropping no-shell eggs when she gets up.
They like egg shell better than the oyster shell I have. It's the crumbly little chunks. I'm out of egg shells now.
I really really hope I don't have more than one bird dropping these eggs.
Yesterday, I bought a 10 pound bag of 19% protein layer feed. It was $12; would be cheaper in a big bag. It's pellets, and they're used to crumble. I gave it to them as their mash snack (wetted down and soft). I saw some flakes of oyster shell in the feed; I don't know if all of the OS is that form or not. I picked out half a dozen to give to Pip with some mash, and she ate them after an inspection.
Does anyone get OS in flake form? Do your birds like it better?
