Yes! We consume 4 eggs everyday and toss the shells onto the scraps the pigs eat and they love them. Has to be a great source of calcium.
A toddler should not be allowed to eat egg shells as the shells will scratch the throat.
egg shells
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.
Yes, most definitely. I was reading about this in a library, went to check the same... what kinda diets I could use for my turtle... crushed egg shells was definitely there... along with fresh tomatoes and lettuce and strawberries and so on...
Because there is nothing inside to eat.
Some species of snail certainly will if they get the chance.
egg and chips preferably if not german sausage
The same reason you don't, They don't like them
Yes. The shells must be ground or pulverized enough for the chickens to swallow them. Shells provide an important source of calcium. Calcium is necessary for egg production and health egg shells.
No, it is not recommended to put egg shells in the garbage disposal as they can damage the blades and clog the pipes. It is better to dispose of egg shells in the trash.
No, egg shells should not be disposed of in a garbage disposal as they can damage the blades and clog the system. It is best to dispose of egg shells in the trash or compost them.
They should never be allowed to eat raw eggs, as it almost always results in egg pecking behavior. This behavior can be corrected in several ways, including separating the chicken for a few days in a place that has only fake, plastic eggs, not real ones. However, it's much better to try and avoid that behavior all together. Even if an egg accidentally breaks, do not let the chickens eat it. Either take if away if you can or smear it into the dirt. Chickens can, however eat cooked eggs, and crushed egg shells. Just make sure the shells have dried out and there is no wet egg left inside, or at least very little left. Then you can crush the shells (they don't even have to be crushed that much), and the hens will eat them and create some new egg shells.
