Feeding raw egg and shells?

[CrazyChickie]

I do feed raw eggs to my chickens. They love it. I usually mix it up with some of their feed. None of them has started cracking eggs, just FYI. However, I have my chickens as pets, I am a vegan myself and I don't even care if I have all these eggs since I don't know what to do with them anyway.

Here is what I do to feed eggs back to the flock...
1. Break up to 1 dozen eggs in an old coffee can
2. Whisk/stir them up really good
3. Mix in dry powdered ingredients on hand (dry milk, flour, expired baby formula)
4. Mix in whole oats and let them soak
5. Mix in layer crumbles to finish soaking up egg liquid (alternatively, use stale bread/cat food/pastries/etc)
6. Stir good. This makes a dryish clumpy feed that the hens love.

Where do I get the stuff?
...I candle my eggs at around 2 weeks and all of the "clears" get fed back to the hens
...Crows break my duck eggs... sometimes I find them before the crows finish them
...All of my friends/relatives/coworkers save food items that would go to waste for me
...I visit the "backdoor" of a local grocer and collect items that would otherwise end up in the landfill
...I always have active craig's list want adverts looking for useful items

I figure this doesn't look or taste too much like eggs by the time I am done.

Would chickens learn to crack open their own eggs if you fed them raw eggs in a different container? I think I understand what op is saying, and if they don't understand that the yummy liquid comes from the things they lay, maybe they wouldn't start cracking their own eggs?

This is what I have done and they love it! There is 100% no way they could possibly know it is raw egg in there. I also add a couple drops of oregano oil and garlic and red pepper and cinnamon and ginger to the mixture. I don’t even ad the oats most of the time. Oh and a splash of raw milk for enzymes…..
