Ok thank you for the advice! It really helps as I’m a first time chicken ownerI don’t understand the people saying no. Scrambled eggs are a delicious treat for chickens, and excellent for them when they are sick. You can absolutely feed them to your chickens - no problem at all and they will love it.
You do, however, at 19 weeks want to switch them to layer feed and put out free choice oyster shells. It’s not too early.
I did read the entire thread. It’s not that long. I didn’t miss anything... there aren’t any ingredients in the carton of egg whites that chickens can’t have, and she stated they are 19 weeks. What I quoted was from today at 4:05 pm. I really don’t understand what you mean.
the egg whites would definitely be enjoyed by your flock.

Very good to know! Thank you for the help. I don’t have ducklings but I do have geese!Your dinosaurs will happily eat scrambled eggs, fried eggs, poached eggs, hardboiled eggs, and yes, their cooked brothers and sisters. They will in fact eat the remains of the just butchered raw brother/sister - particularly the organ meats. They aren't real picky, though of course if you do fry eggs, or serve cooked meat, I don't recommend salt, pepper, margarine and all the rest.
Plus shells.
Now, I don't recommend serving your birds raw bird entrails, its a (very minor) disease vector, and a way to build up toxins from places like the liver where they tend to accumulate already - I'd cook first. and if you feed them raw eggs, I recommend you do so in a way that they no longer resemble eggs - you don't want to encourage those behaviors in the flock. Also, if you have ducks, they will happily consume too - but if you are already at a 20% protein mix and your birds are very young, you want to be alert for signs of angel wing.
But yes, cannibalism in chickens isn't likely to be harmful to them, particularly if you cook it first, and break the pieces into less recognizable chunks to avoid any associations which might be "unfortunate" in the future.
That is a good question. I’m not totally sure, but you’re probably right. I only fed my chickens egg whites since I didn’t have any eggs at the time.Do just whites have anything worth ingesting? I thought it was the yolk with all the nutrients
