Calcium

The calcium for the eggshell comes from three sources - the diet, special bone called medullary bone (found in the cavity of all birds long bones) of pullets and the hens skeleton. The hen uses approximately 2.5 grams of calcium in the formation of one normal egg. When diet alone cannot supply this amount the calcium will be sourced internally.
