1. I am realy sorry because my english is verry bad
2. Did anyone know which bread of chickens have hardest egg shell

 

[twister]

i venture to guess that all shells will be hard if the feed is fortified with correct nutrients and calcium supplements like oyster shell

 

[Guinea Goonie]

If you want a hard shell, get some Guinea fowl. Their shell is always harder than a chickens shell and they are still very good and healthy to eat. They DO NOT lay year round and they tend to lay in odd places unless you have them coop/barn trained to come into roost every night.

Guineas do have extremely hard shells. I am not sure if there is all that much difference in shell between breeds of chickens. I think that sexlinks seem to have very soft shells. Older birds also have softer shells. Calcium helps harden them. Nutrition probably has a lot to do with it as well.

Glad to see you here! We can always use more members. Where are you from? I hope you find chickens with very hard egg shells. Do you mind telling us why you want chickens with hard shells?

My bantams eggs have harder shells than my large fowl do. I think it just the size & shape (more round) allows for more structural integrity. I've also had better luck shipping & receiving bantam eggs.

Goose eggs have really hard shells. You need a hammer to break them open.

Research has shown that the shell of a blue or green egg is harder than other kinds of shells.

You did a great job with your English. I can not speak or write a single word in a Slovic language.
