    Scrambled eggs are super good winter chicken treats, boosts protein and egg production and changing them to scrambled eggs helps keep the chickens from eating their own eggs.

      When I was raising turkeys, the baby Turks were difficult to get started. I had a huge surplus of hen eggs and had read a book written in the early 1900’s about raising turkeys. I wish I could find that book again. It was very good for raising Turks but also like a slice of life of living on a large farm in that era. Anyway, she fed chopped hard boiled chicken eggs to her poor starters. Including the shells.
      Worked like a charm. Never lost another baby Turk!!!

      @@renecovarrubias5160 100% serious. Personally I just throw raw eggs out into the run, but sometimes if I'm getting too many eggs, or the ones on the counter are getting old, I'll scramble them up, little milk, maybe a bit of cayanne pepper, or just plain eggs, and feed them to the girls.

      👍 I was going to say that chickens and other animals are known to sometimes recycle their nutrients by eating unfertilized eggs. At least they don't regularly eat their offspring AFTER they're hatched. Rabbits and hares will eat their offspring if they just get too stressed 😫.

    Scrambled eggs are totally good for chickens, as is powdering shells to feed to them (using whole shells can teach them to eat their own eggs). It keeps your egg shells nice and firm, so they don’t get those weird speckled thin spots.

      Lime by itself can be dangerous, like in a lime pit, where one can be conveniently rid of... inconvenient evidence, over time.
      IIRC, it's caustic, which is the opposite of acidic. It's used in garden beds to neutralize acidic soil.
      (Sigh. I may have all that backwards, which would mean it's acidic and is used to acidify garden soils. I just don't remember ATM.)

    If you ever get to a point where you cannot afford to let go of an egg or bits of egg, as doing so would be shorting your family's rations, there is another interesting (free) source of protein for your birds.
    Get a bucket.
    Drill 1/4" holes in the bottom and sides.
    Put some waste meat (like chicken guts) in the bottom of the bucket and cover it.
    Set up a tall hose-hook next to the coop and hang the bucket over the coop.
    You're set.
    What whill happen is the meat will attract flies. They will land on the bucket, go in the holes and eat the meat and lay their eggs. The eggs will hatch in the meat and the larvae will eat the meat. Some will eat their way thru the meat and crawl around and fall thru those holes... and drop down into the chicken coop. I'm sure I don't have to tell you what happens next.
    Over time, larvae hatch out more flies, which lay more eggs... and more larvae crawl around and drop out of the bucket.
    Eventually this becomes a reliable (irregular) source of protein for your birds.
    Totally free... as long as it's down-wind.
    Try it.

    Chickens naturally eat their own eggs. If they sit around too long they eat them. And if you think about it, as a chick developing in an egg they consume the egg as they grow. So technically an egg is a perfect food for a chicken. And as long as you don’t have a rooster they are never fertilized so you are never killing a chick in the process.

    I mean chickens are cannibalistic... only down side to giving them eggs is you increase the chance of them breaking into their own eggs, but hey your farm spoil the little raptors plus if you shred the shell that's extra calcium for the hens😉

      I think if you give them cooked eggs and not raw eggs the risk of them eating their own eggs isn't as high

      @@nonaide that is true. I also save all my shells up and when I get a tray full I bake them 45 minutes on 250, crush and serve. They love it.

    That bedding looked like it still had a lot of life left in it. Wait a bit longer to replace it and you might find it easier to get it all composted??

    NO HATE!
    Hens eat their own eggs naturally as an additional source of protein. By you giving them scrambled eggs, it not only has a different texture than raw eggs so they won’t get accustomed to eating their own eggs, it build trust and a bond!

    She would bite the eggs and then crush them up with a rolling pin in a band then feed him back to the chickens and she also put it out there for birdfeed too. There's a little bit though for the birds let me know

    I have a chicken who if not in her pen that sits on my chest and lays an egg and I wake up to chicken face…I call her Karen…so you know how hard she protects her egg? It’s amazing and precious….everyday she comes in as I work nights and I find her on top of me…I used to be scared she would peck my face but now I worry if she’s not there…I tried a few times to love them both but once she does her dance when I move them off me - to relocate both to a new space that she doesn’t protect her baby and walks off…I now have one egg daily from her…hopefully she will find a new place and I can protect her baby…we have many chickens 🐓 here and it’s definitely been a learning curve for me…❤❤❤ I love to treat them with warm porridge when I come home from work as I work the night shifts
