Love your Dad's chooks mizloco, very smart chooks! that would be no eggs for me then shirls its a good job i don't like eggs . They would still lay eggs just not very good ones. The shells would be thin and if they don't have enough calcium theey start to use the calcium in their bones until their bones are so thin they would snap. Not a good thing for hens. The same happens to any bird that doesn't have the right diet and lays eggs, same for reptiles too. But they also need vitamin D to process the calcium.

BUT skysmum - have you ever tried a very fresh, definite free range egg?? Can't beat it against the shop bought ones (excuse the pun).
