Feeding Egg shells

[tdgill]

I've been saving egg shells in a coffee container in the freezer for a while now. Just started giving my laying hens them.

I make eggshell omelets with mine. I scramble up a bunch of eggs and sprinkle the egg shells in them while they are cooking. I let them cool completely and then pass it out. It is a big hit around here.

Crunch them up real good into fine fragments and mix them with other feed, scrambled into excess eggs, etc.. That seems to be easiest on you.

gotcha. thanks!

I have alot saved up... I couldn't see throwing them away and its been easy to crush them down into the container in the freezer. I imagine they'll keep a decent while.(?)

I bake mine on low for about 20 minutes, (usually, that means just putting them in the oven after I've cooked something else, as the oven cools down). No idea if it's even required but I figure it makes them taste less like raw eggs to keep anyone from deciding maybe fresh raw eggs might be tasty. I also figure it kills any bacteria. Freezing may do that too.
