Chalky egg shell

[The Brick Coop]

I think they would be fine for hatching as long as is enough shell to keep sufficient moisture in, and if they were fertile. I was talking about an all-over chalky film, not necessarily blobs in singular places.

If there were a way to fence your chickens in the garden for while you are out there with them, they might find the snails by themselves. Just don't forget them being out there, remember to put them away for the night or the owls will have them for supper. Also the ground egg shells would be the best. that kind of recycled calcium should be the easiest to absorb.

Yes there is always an allover chalkiness on Katy's eggs. What does that mean?

I give a pinch or two of shell to each girl. So would chicken egg shells also be good? Btw... I am asking specifically about quails.

Chicken egg shell is fine. I feed all kinds of eggshells to mine.

Thanks for that. Would you give a certain amount or just assume that they will only eat the amount they need?

I always have it available. They'll eat what they need.

Just to let you know that there is definitely an improvement in Bibi's egg today. Only a few tiny chalky blobs. I've increased her portion of egg shell as recommended. Thanks folks!

I'm so glad to hear that!
