have other comments as I’ve enjoyed your “story” but wanted to at least chime in as well and say that on quite a few occasions- ESP when sick or not feeling good- my chickens MUCH prefer chopped up hard boiled eggs vs even my best attempts at scrambled eggs that looked great to Me!

lol
But seriously- they seem overall to never turn down bits of chopped HB eggs! and to be VERY honest in desperation a few times near the end (when they wouldn’t even take drops of water)….
… I used a raw egg- new & still waiting to go in w/ me- to tempt a Very sick chicken and more than once, they’d perk up and gulp all of it down- sip by sip- after quickly whisked in a bowl to TRY to disguise where it came from

- till it was GONE … and even then they drank the water I squished the bowl with too after the egg was gone!! Made them feel better for a bit and hydrated them… Had a few more good days after those!
Not condoning it really- yes raw eggs=bad!

but much scarier to me would be if they survived and told their friends they have a SUPER tasty treat on hand there daily!! Yeah- nasty hard habit to break if they ever start!!


. Thank God, so far so good…
Guess poached is pretty similar but softer I think?! I don’t eat any but omelets or scrambled

… ooh or quiche!!
I’m down to pretty much 1 laying chicken so not as eager to use 8 eggs in one dish!!
