feeding eggs

[newchickmom]

how many eggs should i give to my chickens each day?

I have about 4 dozen eggs I need to scramble up for them. I have 25 hens and 23 7-wk old pullets.

well I would just scramble the eggs and shells mixed as then they will eat the shells for calcium

with 48 birds that will take at least two - three dozen eggs per time

this will deplete your supply fast

any questions email me

I didn't know if 4 dozen was overdoing it for 1 feeding or not.

I have some old eggs in the fridge that I wanted to give to them.

I wouldn't feed the shells to young birds. The extra calcium can be harmful to them. Only laying chickens should have the shells or any other calcium suppliment.

Iffin it were me, I'd feed them no more than two dozen at a time. Especially with the young ones. They need the complete nutrition of their growing food.
So maybe two dozen today and the other two dozen later on in the week.
