My mother-in-law used to bake then grind up the egg shells into a fine powder & put it in food for the kids because she couldn’t afford vitamins. "Yes it was very helpful . Is boiling eggshells okay, too?My chicken ate the eggshell before I collected the eggs today. […] feed them crushed egg shells to help to supplement their calcium […][…] greens and veggies. I’ve not had one yet eat an egg that wasn’t given to them. I do this when a hen is feeling under the weather, too. NO THEY SHOULD NOT EAT ROTTEN FOOD.

I forgot about this now I know why. I have a bunch I’ve been saving in the refrigerator, unwashed, to break up and put in and on the garden. I have a pot that sits on the counter that all scraps go into.

For this step you will need a resealable plastic bag and a rolling pin. Amy Harrison has over five years of experience working directly with poultry. The eggs come from a trusted farmer at the farmer’s market. Their flocks are thriving– so I want to do a bit more research and then I might give it a try. Now put the jar in the fridge and shake when you need some lemon juice.

The calcium rich water is used in cooking, and added to animals water bucket.

What do you think of doing this? They toast up nicely as the pan cools, with no extra work or pans or heating of the oven. Well, I hope you get this, and if not, maybe someone else someday will find your post through Google while looking up calcium for snails (like I did), and see this reply to you and it will help them. We’ve talked about Composting them is definitely one option, but did you know you can feed them back to your chicken flock?Like anything else, there seems to be lots of different opinions about feeding eggshells back to the chickens who laid them. However, why not offer them an additional free-choice option as well?

I dry and crush my eggshells and feed them back to the chickens as well.


You can use them as instant food any time.If you intend on using your chickens eggs to birth more chickens it is best to not feed them their shells.

For this reason, I prefer giving them their own egg shells even though the worms in the compost bin would love them.Yes, Jill, my hens love flipping the food and oyster shells all over the place.
It’s not a huge deal– more of a peace-of-mind thing for me since I have no idea of the health status of the flock where the store eggs came from. I noticed that the newer oyster shells are not the same shape as they used to be. Here’s how I feed eggshells to chickens (an even simpler system below). We boil them and crush them only to discourage egg pecking. LOL.I’m just curious…do you rinse the eggshells before you toss them under the sink and before you heat them, or just crack em and toss? Do you know what causes that?I heard if you feed shells to the chickens, they will start to peck at each and eat themAfter I make eggs in my cast iron skillet for breakfast, I throw the shells in the empty, (still hot) skillet and turn off the heat. I’ve always heard that if you wash them, you need to store in frig. Actually I think (i was a little gal at the time) the church ladies would crack an egg in the coffee pot but I could be wrong on this one.)

They will become little hard, then put it in a mixer & make powder of it. You can always just use dry soil and/or sand for your chicken bath, though.I have been feeding my egg shells to my chickens for years. No other problems, except when one or two get broody and I don’t have a rooster (’cause I like to sleep nights). My first flock is not laying yet but I have been saving the shells for this very purpose. My girls lay some eggs with tough yokes, they don’t want to scramble.
