Scramble Eggs - How many to give?

[britinpa]

I want to give my pullets a scrambled egg treat this afternoon. How many would you say is good to do for 8 pullets?

Maybe 4 eggs?

Are they pullet eggs (small) or hen sizes (normal-ish)?

They are 26 weeks old, I get a range of sizes small to double yolkers. But I have some pretty standard sized ones here at the moment

Thanks! I gave them 5, seemed a good amount when scrambled, hopefully wasn't too much for them.

Probably not. I give whole raw eggs to a bird sometimes.

From what I've read, I thought that wasn't a good idea as it can teach them to start eating their eggs if one cracks and they realize that is what is inside. I have heard scrambled is fine, but just not anything resembling a laid egg.

It might encourage certain ones. I crack the eggs above them on a corner or stick and then put the yolk in the bowl and seperate the shell into small portions for them to eat
