I was told by the old and wise chicken raisers that feeding eggs back to your chickens is the ONLY way to discard unwanted eggs. I know it seems odd but it is full of everything they need to lay more eggs. I won't feed eggs unless they layed them or if they are cooked. Too likely they will pass on disease otherwise.

Grapes, scratch and watermelon. In that order.

If it helps, when a chicken breaks an egg on accident she will then eat the egg. I'm almost sure this is a way to keep predators away or to keep the other eggs from being infected. Also, when a cow gives birth, she always eats the afterbirth again a way to keep predators at bay.

Eggs don't bother me but cannibalism I can't stand.
