Hi from Queensland Australia

What Sumi said about the eggshells. Handled properly they are a great source of calcium.

Thanks for that info, I am still learning and that was good info as I didn't realise I might have grit or shell and they are not the same. Thanks

Thanks Kansas, appreciate the comments. I am so enjoying talking to other chicken people about chickens, I think my family was getting a little tired of me.

Hi Alabama, thank you. I am enjoying all the chicken talk. Would love to hear how chicken people in the south manage chickens in hotter weather. It is quite hot here now. I give them plenty of water during the day, and watermelon or tomatoes when I get home in the afternoon, but still worry about them a little in the heat.

Hi,thanks for your comment. Do you mean handled properly to make the eggshells unrecognisable as shells to the chickens and sterilised?

Thanks MIchigan, I can't get over how friendly and supportive everyone is. Really glad I found this site.
