It is a good source of calcium when store bought bivalve calcium is unavailable.

There is nothing wrong with feeding the groundup shells of eggs back to the chickens unless the flock is ill.

Why is food grade ink required to code on egg shells?

Food-grade ink is required to code on egg shells, because egg shells are porous and chemicals could enter the egg. Also, eggs are often cooked with the shells intact (e.g. hard-boiled); so the consumer could come into contact with the ink while eating the egg. Even when an egg is cracked there is a risk that the egg contents could come into contact with the ink.
