My Poultry Egg Shell Improver for Laying Hens

My Poultry Egg Shell Improver for Laying Hens

My Poultry Egg Shell Improver is a complementary balanced nutrient solution that helps maintain or improve egg shell quality in laying birds. It is made for backyard hen keepers, smallholders and hobby flock owners who want firmer, better-formed shells and fewer breakages in the nest box.

It is best used at times of stress, when young birds are starting to lay, and when hens return to lay after moulting. As domestic hens age, shells can become thin or develop unsightly bumps and chalky deposits, which may also cause them to break easily, and this product is designed to help address those issues.

Key Features

• Shell quality support: a complementary balanced nutrient solution to help maintain or improve egg shell quality.
• Best for transition periods: point of lay, return to lay after a moult, and periods of stress in the flock.
• Helpful for older hens: supports birds whose shells have become thin, bumpy or chalky with age.
• Fewer cracked eggs: stronger shells mean fewer eggs lost to breakages during laying and collection.
• Simple to use: fits into an existing feeding routine alongside a balanced ration and fresh water.
