I have the chocolate Orpington rooster with silver duckwing hens.
Female offspring would be chocolate at hatch. Males would be black.
1st hatch, 1st pullet chick of the project..

How many of you all feed eggs back to your chickens?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Most of mine go back to the birds. Especially the duck eggs

Anything to dirty for me of I don't know how long it's been where it is and hasn't been used in six weeks goes to the burn pile or a dish in the coop. The free range flock has access to the burn pile.

Mine love raw eggs. Sometimes one gets broken and they'll swarm it. Thing is I've got a paranoia that that could lead to egg eaters. So no way I'd feed them any uncooked ones on purpose.
But let's just say hypothetically someone has 11, 957 birds and ends up with about 7,714 extra eggs a day that they can't fit in their walk in storage container incubator.
Apparently not having a lick of sense they had never fed eggs back to them which would make use of the eggs and might save on their insane fed bills.
Anyways hypothetically I wouldn't see there being a wrong way to cook said eggs, right?
But for cooking eggs when you have a wheelbarrow a day's worth what would be the fastest, easiest, doable way to go?
Boil them by the bucket full in a witches cauldron over a bonfire?

I just feed raw. They almost never are dumb enough to break an egg that isn't brittle in the first place on their own. Just make sure they have plenty of calcium

I do have some occasional egg eating, so I try to get the eggs as fast as possible. When I give some to them, I crack them open and squoosh the shell so it doesn't look like a whole egg.
