Yes It is not a good idea but they get calcium from the shells of eggs but if the hen who laid the egg is sick it could be passed to the chickens who eat that shell. Better to get commercial feed that has proteins and calcium with the right mix. Some farms still boil up the eggs they don't want and feed them back to the flock shell and all. If your birds get the occasional raw egg it shouldn't hurt them.

∙ 14y agoYes pigs can eat egg shells and it doesnt hurt them one bit. In fact many pigs get the nick name "egg suckers" on farms as they will seek out and rob a hens eggs, most LOVE eggs, raw, hard boiled, sunny side up, with or without shell. Pigs are like the catfish of the land and do enjoy a varied diet, even chicken bones.

Pigs will eat eggs as they are omnivorous and inquisitive but goats won't eat eggs as they are herbivores.
