Yes, the older ones get everything smashed up together. They love it. I went and fed the little girls tonight, it took them a minute, but most of them warmed up to eating the eggs from my hand, It looks so far like the barred rocks and the black australorps are the least shy. I still can...
Thanks, cookinmom. I have the eggs already boiled, just have to get those shells off and give them to the babies. They are so cute. oh yes and smash them up too.
I have 10-- 3 week old chicks...Do I feed the shells with the egg like I do the older birds? The older birds did not get eggs till they started laying them. Now I have tons of the bantam eggs (I get 5 a day most days) And they are now all going to be treats. So do the chicks get shells too...
