    Chicken claws

    Yes you can clip them. You can use dog nail clippers to do it but by very careful not to clip them to short. When I do it I just know the points off.

    How to calculate how much eggs are costing?

    How long do chickens need to stay in brooder?

    I keep mine in there until they are fully feathered. That usually takes 4 to 5 weeks.

    laying food and oyster shells

    It depends on the age of the hens. If they are almost POL(16 to 20wks) then the layer wont hurt them. If they are not you could feed an all flock raiser to everyone with oyster on the side. I feed oyster shell in a half gallon milk jug that I cut a hole in the side of and hang it by the handle...

    Stretching food...

    Layer is bad for young chicks because it has too much calcium for them. You can start feeding layer at about 18 weeks or like oldhen said don't feed it at all but add oyster shell free choice.

    Chickens are pecking eggs when we go to get them

    Egg eating is where the chickens eat their eggs. They do it a lot of times because they don't have enough calcium. I would give them oyster shell in a separate container that they have access to all the time. You can also crush egg shells and use them too.
