Chicken layer feed with oyster shells will provide calcium support for your hens to be able to lay eggs with strong eggshells. Strong eggshells can keep bacteria out and improve the quality of farm fresh eggs. These shells act as a safe space for chicks and create a shield for yolks from harmful bacteria.
There are several ways to improve farm pastures and food plots, but one of the best ways is through frost seeding or overseeding. Frost seeding involves casting grass seeds or legumes on existing grass pastures during late winter or early spring while the ground is still frozen. When you spread the seeds at the right time, nature’s ground-freezing and natural thawing cycle will work the seed into the soil. Not to mention, frost seeding is also found to be easier and cheaper.
