I feed all the eggs back to my chickens. I only have two girls that are old enough to lay, and I get 1-2 eggs a day. I've been feeding everyone (from 8 weeks-2 yrs. old) scrambled eggs 2-3 times a week. Is this too often? Thanks!
 
No harm at all..... Make sure that you also offer the shells back to them.
I usually just crush with my foot all the shells on the ground. The chickens pick it up at will. Some peeps dry and finely crush their shells.
I find that step unnecessary.
WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,, and :highfive:
 
How big is your flock? When the youngsters start laying, how many layers will you have? You might consider selling your extra eggs to offset the price of feed. I'm guessing that in your area, you will get a prime price for your hen's eggs. You may even have to break up the brawls at the end of your driveway as your customers fight over those precious cartons of eggs.
 
I have 4 pulllets, 1 hen and 1 roo (kept separately). Only two are currently laying. And no, sadly, there are chickens all over my neighborhood. Besides, I have dogs and parrots that love eggs too! So I think things will be fine.
