Solution

For good production of eggs one can balanced the diet of birds rich in protein, vitamins and minerals supplements. Whereas, a fibrous diet such as oyster shells is supplied as the basic material needed to improve the quality of egg shell or to make it more hard this is because oyster shells are rich in calcium and phosphorus which makes the egg shells hard.
