Chickens need calcium,egg shells are a good source of calcium and other minerals.
Chickens are also omnivores and enjoy any bits of egg left in the shell. Many farmers feed the shells back to the hens, some wash them first then crush them into the feed. Others wash and cook them before feeding them back and others do not feed the hens their own shells fearing pathogen transfer.
