feeding eggs

[skrasienko]

i read alot about feeding hard boiled egg yolks but can they eat the white also? how much and how often

Sure, that's where the protein is. Lots of folks scramble them rather than boiling. Some even scramble them with the eggshells, for laying hens, as a calcium source. (Blender or processor, then scramble, makes this easy.) Don't feed babies eggshells, though.

In healthy birds, any treat should be no more than 10% of the diet. If you are dealing with a sick bird, this is a good "sick time" food, and may be the only thing they will eat.

My chickens LOVE scrambled eggs! I even gave them scrambled eggs when they were about 4 weeks old. I think scrambling alot easier than hard boiling anyway. IMO

Do you just throw the eggs in the run on the ground, or do you put it in a pan or something?
