safe for chickens to eat shells from "easter eggs"

[bosoxbratt]

Is it safe to let the chickens eat the shells from hard boiled eggs that we have colored with the normal egg coloring kits in markets? I figure we are going to have lots of them very soon LOL TY for any in put

What about the hard boiled egg its self? Ours will be in and out of the fridge over a course of 10 days or so. Tomorrow they will be on display all day! The kids did a good job!

Anyway, I dont want the family to eat them, good for the chickens?

Because colored easter eggs often get eaten by humans, the dyes are safe, non-toxic. So I would assume that chickens could eat them as well. Let us know if your hens start laying colored eggs.

They may poop rainbows but otherwise they would be fine
