Hard boiled eggshells

[Hopeful homesteader]

When you guys feed eggshells back to your hens, do you also give them shells from hard boiled eggs? I'm not sure if that strips them of calcium since they'd be boiled or it just doesn't matter?

They are fine to feed.

When I have had an excess of egg's, I have sometimes boiled some of them up, and then after they cooled off just crushed them up shell and all for mine. I mix them into some wet feed to give them as a treat to make sure that they eat the feed too, and not just the egg.

My pullets contributed the deviled eggs for Thanksgiving lunch this year and got the shells back today.
