Yes, eggshells should generally be removed from the nest to maintain cleanliness and reduce the risk of attracting predators or pests. Leaving shells in the nesting area can signal to predators that a nest has chicks or attract other animals looking for food. Additionally, removing the shells can help prevent the spread of bacteria that might harm the remaining eggs or chicks. However, it's essential to handle them carefully to avoid disturbing the nesting birds.

What happens to hatched bird egg shell?

It decomposes or is eaten by other birds or insects. It contains useful minerals. Egg shells are very nutritious for plants. They decay and return minerals to the soil. Generally, the parent birds will push the shells out of their nest onto the ground. If the bird is one that nests on the ground, they just move away from the shells. The same thing happens to reptile eggs - snakes, turtles, alligators, etc. will lay their eggs in the ground.
