shortages

Just experience speaking... If your going to feed chickens their egg shells. Make sure you grind them well first or you'll end up with a couple of egg eaters, like I did.

Yep I make them pretty small, smaller than the flake oyster shells. No problems here with egg eating but you never know what those crazy birds will do. Lol

I offer calcium as eggshells or oystershell. I do offer grit for young birds. Older ones ignore it. We have enough rocks and they have ground access that they prefer to find their own.

Finding oystershell is a difficult thing still around here. I have plenty still.

Mine have a lot of grit available too, that they eat! Just not the pebbled formed oyster shell. Lol

I never did when I had chickens 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't until I had 3 shell-less eggs. Mine don't free range though so they don't find supplements

Mine have a small outdoor run, but they don't go out in winter. My hen went broody 3 times this last year summer so she didn't make many eggs. We'll see how my pullets do. I have 4 that should start laying soon.

When I had Rhode Island Reds we did get thin shells for a while. That's when I started saving shells, cooking, grinding and offering it back to them. It solved the problem.

The pork processing disruptions circa 8/2021 - 10/2021 seem to have trickled down to dog pork hide chews. I didn't think of that as an item to stock and ran out. Can't find them from major retailers. My dogs will have to chew on something different for a while.

Got any butcher shops around where you could get some big bones?

New shortage alert- I can’t find premie diapers 😭. I’m sort of panicked.
Also I can’t find quite a few of my favorite liquors. Tragedy.
Also- raw dog food! I can only have it shipped to me now. 😕
Edit: also those little baggies I freeze my milk in.

The only local butcher shop I'm aware of sells grass-fed/grass-finished to a paleo consumer base, so even their bone is expensive. But you did get me thinking about contacting custom butchers before next year's deer hunting season to see if I could buy excess bone. I prefer venison bone broth.

I ordered beef rawhides for my dogs, no shortage there.
