Lime, in the form of calcium carbonate or as oyster shells, is very helpful to chickens. For generations, poultry growers added oyster shells to the chicken's daily diet as a way to prevent soft shelled eggs.

Limestone is added to many brands of chicken feed and lime is often used around farms to stabilize the PH in soil. Small amounts of lime will not harm your chickens.
